Crocus 'Fantasy'


What is this 'Fantasy'?  I have autumn blooming Fantasy distributed from mine former nursery (ilgazensis x pulchellus).

Crocus tommasinianus x vernus 'Fantasy' - "Bred many years ago in Eastern Europe this arrived in the west after the fall of the Berlin Wall. A hybrid between Crocus tommasinianus and Crocus Remembrance it has the best attributes of both, with the silvery outer petals intriguingly opening to reveal the glossy purple inside".

Janis, the pink C. alatavicus seems to be settling down well with multiple flowers.  It is one of the most striking Crocus in existence.  Unfortunately, C. alatavicus rarely multiplies, so it will remain a dream for most of us.
