Always surprises when you grow seed.  Here Crocus rujanensis seedlings ex the Crocus Group flowering last week, some with odd smokey stem bases. Eyes on the one fore left with a very dark almost black flower base and the one just peeping up fore right at the pot edge with the dark base (I did a little digging) & a particularly strong flower colour.  The smokey bases intrigue me, has anyone seen this in rujanensis?  Possible hybridity?

Crocus danfordiae is a very small and delicate but also very pretty crocus!

A pretty pale yellow C. danfordiae, Ophrys!

It seems C. angustifolius 'Bronze Form' is developing greatly for you, Roma!
Mine split off in many tiny ones and show only leaves this season.

Today I can show only one image. Quite a surprise - C. heuffelianus sown in autuum 2015 as C. vernus... :)

Hi Tristan,

thank you. It is pity that the pretty crocus flowers do not open for pollination @ 4°C/39,4°F outside temperatures.

Bringing in the pot into the bath room, like Janis is doing for hand pollination, is not possible.
I hope flower stems haven't flopped over till next week when weather forecast says 12-15°C / 53,6-59°F temperature.

Armin, My Crocus angustifolius 'Bronze Form' were only planted last Autumn so they could easily split now and not flower next year.

Roma, I grant you the joy of abundant flowering - the next season will be a challenge to repeat the flowering success ;D

Hallo Ophryrs,
very beuatiful - it resembles a bit cultivar 'Snow Princess' from Dirk Schnabel.
Are they offsprings?

Ever wondered how serious and dedicated Janis Ruksans is about  his  Crocus collection and the  recording and classification of  his    bulbs?  Have  a  look at this, from Latvian TV, March 2021
