I was advised yesterday by Brian Mathew that the aberrant form of Crocus hadriaticus from Didima I posted in Reply 167 0n November 17th is a form of C. hadriaticus ssp parnonicus. Hope that helps others as confused as I was, I have added the photos again to make it easier.
Janis - with its very pointed tepals that's a handsome form of C. hadriaticus (typical). Does it have a cultivar name?
For the second time this autumn a supplier has sent something wrong. For supplying ordinary korolkowii as the cultivar 'Dystictus' last year I got laevigatus Albus which turned out to be speciosus. I then got laevigatus AH0138 as compensation. All is well until this week when another rogue bulb comes up . This is another form of laevigatus ::)I knew something was wrong when I saw yellow tips on the emerging budsHere is AH 0138 and below the rogueAny comments?
Early this morning, a golden bud... 20 minuets later...C. moabiticus.The second is a good form of C. heymalis.
