What about Crocus chrysanthus 'Ushak Orange' ?
« on: February 05, 2007, 08:25:31 PM »
Normally, 'Ushak Orange' has a deep orange color in catalogues. Mine is flowering, and there is no difference with a wild strain of the species obtained from seeds.
Is the plant I have a mistake ?
Do you have photos of the real 'Ushak Orange' ?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Mark. So, for you, the main difference is the flowering time, not the global color ?
