Title: Looking 4 good colored crocus mathewii in exchange for rare Liliums
Post by: winwen on September 01, 2009, 10:31:24 AM
Hi,

on two occasions in the past, I bought some crocus mathewii-bulbs (always from the same nursery) but unfortunately none of them  was nearly as deep colored as the beautiful plants in Ian Young's bulblog or the fantastic crocuses (from art600 I think) shown in the forum. I know that c. mathewii is quite variable in coloring but having only plants looking linke having been "washed out" is not really funny  :-\.
I therefore would like to ask, if someone could help me getting some of the really beautiful colored c. mathewii (bulbs or seeds).
For exchange, I could offer seeds and bulbs of Lilium alexandrae, L. nobilissimum, bulbs of L. majoense and possibly bulbs of L. ledebourii or white L. japonicum f. albomarginatum.
Best time for exchange would be in spring next year - I think!
