:) :) Hello to all croconuts.
I am a newbie to SRGCF, I joined primarily because of my interest in Galanthus. However, since reading many of the articles on the SRGCF my interest has also started to encompass many other bulb species. I am looking to start a collection of crocus bulbs in the Autumn of 2014 and would really appreciate any advice croconut members could give me, namely a list of cultivars/species of crocus to start with. I would also like to purchase a good informative book on the subject of crocus, one that is ideal for a beginner. All advice would be gratefully received.

The AGS produced a good, free, illustrated leaflet awhile back which I thought at the time was good for the beginner as it gave details of flowering times and cultivation of about 50-60 species/cultivars. If only I could find it again!

You could do worse than start with the pages on web resources on this forum:
