Hello members of the forum.
I am a very infrequent visitor to the forum. I rarely have the time. Alas!!
For those that do not know me. My name is Mat Murray. I am one of the editors for the Crocus Group newsletter. I am in the process of compiling the next Newsletter. If any of you have any articles, or would like to contribute to the newsletter with perhaps your favourite species of Crocus. Please contact me on mathew_murray@hotmail.com.
thanks

Hi Mat,
It occurs to me that many of the Crocus enthusiasts on social media may not be aware of the many resources for the genus on this site - it might be an idea for you to include the following information in the newsletter .......
http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/index.php?log=international (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/index.php?log=international) For the free monthly e-magazine which included articles discussing Crocus and also describing various new Crocus species. There is also a full index on the main page.
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?board=10.0 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?board=10.0) for all things Crocus including regular posts from Janis Ruksans, Crocus Maestro.....
also in the forum, there is the dedicated area for the Crocus Group, and the archive of Crocus Group Newsletters ... http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12387.0 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12387.0)
http://www.srgc.org.uk/genera/index.php?log=crocus (http://www.srgc.org.uk/genera/index.php?log=crocus) The most up to date version of the original Crocus Pages.
And not forgetting http://crocusmania.blogspot.com/search/label/Crocus/ (http://crocusmania.blogspot.com/search/label/Crocus/) for Ibrahim Sozen's excellent crocus site.
Cheers,
Maggi

Yes, I second that most strongly. There are many of us with every intention of avoiding the need for any involvement in the world of the so-called social media!

Hello Maggi .... I hope you and Ian are well??
Thats a great Idea. I will indeed include those links.
For the next newsletter I plan to post it on the forum and send out the links to the Crocus Group members. That way members inboxs are not overloaded with huge files.
Will that be OK?

Of course - the SRGC has always been keen to assist the Crocus Group and we in the Web Team will do whatever we can to help that.

A thought - perhaps a list of Crocus species a descriptions and articles published by Janis Ruksans in the International Rock Gardener magazine would be of interest to those who may not be aware of those. All are free access, of course so all that is needed is internet access to download the issues involved.

Thanks so much Maggi. Much appreciated!!
Im a little confused?? A list of all species currently known??

No Mat, the recent species and re-naming published in IRG by Janis - the most public access articles on the subject recently published. I will send you a list when I have time - Janis' work in IRG has been a remarkable addition to Crocus knowledge - whether or not one subscribes to his conclusions - tremendous information on his work with the genus.

Awesome .... that would be great maggi. Many thanks
