Crocus February 2016

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Even in bud Crocus tommasinianus albus is beautiful though, Luc.

Couldn't agree more, Maggi !

It is a great pleasure to see all these beautiful Crocus . Only the very first have started flowering in my garden - and the few one will not open due to lack of sunshine
I must bring them inside to open as this Crocus michelsonii God's Look, which I got from a generous forumist last year.

Voici Crocus olivieri balansae 'Orange Monarch' dans la serre

[Yann]

I thought i had had time to photograph other plants but a shower of hail dashed hopes
Crocus vernus Krasno Polje did not even disdain bloom.

[Armin]

Nice series Armin

Yann, thank you.
Hail and black frosts can be fatal, so happend Feb. 2012 for me with >90% losses. Pity and sad if flowers and rare plants get killed before we can enjoy their beauties.
Keep my fingers crossed - nothing sofar this season .

Hello Luc, thank you. I was never away from this forum. Just there was nothing to show.
So many croconuts with fantastic species in their collections - I adore all who can keep them alive.

Looking good, Poul !

Thank you Luc! I am quite satisfied with this one. It is more compact than other forms I grow. The dark Winter here makes it difficult to grow Crocus michelsonii without flowers flopping over.
