Anne - No cultivar name for my white tommy.  It is a nice one as you say ... but the nicest shaped tommies may have some vernus in their genes.  I'll take a closer look and let you know what I think.

Johannes - Beautiful!

[I.S.]

   Johannes - very beautiful pictures even if first one is one year old!!.

[Thomas Huber]

Franz - I don't know any cultivar, looking like your Crocus!
I think this must be a seedling. Is that yellow hint true or
just in the photo?

last weekend I mentioned a sieberi bought at the AGS Dublin Group discussion weekend. It was donated by Gothenberg Botanics. Can someone confirm this is correct. I just checked Tony's web site. Could they be sieberi sublimis?

I also made a mistake when posting my chrysanthus 'Prince of Orange'. It is flavus 'Prince of Orange'.

Mark, on my visit last year they did say that they were thinking about retiring but they are still maintaining their Web Site, last update today, so I hope they are still in business on my next visit.

It says they will close end of May 2008. About the time of the AGS East Anglia Show, unless it is early like this year.

[David Nicholson]

Andrew, thanks for that. I might get two visits in before they close. Don't know if they are moving (I will ask when I go ) but it would make a nice little set up for someone. Ah! if only I were younger and had the skill

[tonyg]

Mark - yes looks like C sieberi ssp sublimis

[mark smyth]

Thanks Tony. Do you know the orange one?

[John Forrest]

Hi Mark, did you get my email?

Not many Crocuses have flowered for me this year in pots. Perhaps due to weather or less than careful attention but this one I bought from Tony is very nice. C. jessopae hyb

It doesn't rain everyday. Yesteday was fine and I got this picture of a crocus purchased as chrysanthus Goldilocks. Should Goldilocks be a semi-double? It wasn't until I looked at the picture that I noticed the singles. Could I have a mixture of Goldilocks and Goldmine. I don't mind either way as it is an unusual flower.

Thomas, the yellow hint true.
