Mark, how could you possibly have missed this super thread, with Tony, Thomas et al posting daily? After the Old Forum, surely you realized there would be a crocus thread set up immediately. Now, I can almost imagine that someone could miss a snowdrop thread.....

Some more Crocus from my garden:

Crocus laevigatus, creme Form, ex TG:
1512-0

Crocus sieberi "Bowles White" - always the first in spring, but this year somewhat toooo early:
1514-1

Crocus imperati ssp suaveolens has become a nice clump in the last 2 weeks:

Hello, Dirk, good to have you join us again in the new forum!  I see that your Crocus have lost their calendar, also, like Thomas' !

I think the Crocus are reading the 'Flowering now in the Southern Hemisphere' thread and getting all confused.

that cream lavaegatus is stunning and looks like something I already grow. Maybe I have it labelled wrong. I'll know when I get home

I don't think the crocuses are THAT confused John. December is maybe the ONLY month, except Nov and Jan depending on the weather, when we don't have a single crocus in flower.

Udo could you edit and repost that lovely Crocus? I would like to see a larger/closer image. Thanks
