Thanks Maggi, though on a first, quick look, I won't be going there. Too much like a wholesale catalogue and prehaps things one wants are only occasionally available. No matter.

Thanks, Ashley,
I just looked at their site (http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com/carth.asp?species=Syringodea%20longituba&sref=83359) and at 11Euro a packet plus 3Euro P&P (and a minimum order of 22Euro) I guess I'll keep waiting!
cheers

Fermi, Rogan,

Steep all right.  Although not listed in their online catalogue, it might be worth checking with Silverhill Seeds too because they have limited stocks of extras from time to time.

Another Crocus is flowering today. Labelled as C. serotinus salzmanii I think I have mixed up laels when I accidentally removed some while weeding out grass and other weeds. I'll post a photo when I get home from work

no photo because I had to clear the room for new carpet. So much junk accumulated! Hopefully show it later. Still at work  :-[

Looks like Crocus speciosus, Mark!

Many salzmanii stocks in Holland are mixed
with speciosus!
