Crocus December 2006
DaveM:
And a final offering for tonight, is in my humble opinion a little gem: Crocus wattiorum, apparantly a very localised endemic, typically growing in crevices in limestone or on scree.

Maggi Young:
Well, C. wattiorum is something different, isn't it? Fantastic contrast of style colour and black anthers... and that outer feathering to echo the anther colour is lovely.
Remind me again, what is it that is so exciting about snaw dreeps? ::)
I.S.:
Hi Dave!
Your crocus are wonderfull nothing to say more. Are they flowering this times in Antalya? If you can tell
exacty local name where you have seen them I would be happy. I realy admired them.
I wish to see more!!!!!!
Anthony Darby:
My goodness. What an entrance Dave! Fabulous to see these crocuses in the wild. I'll be looking out for Crocus wattiorum, as it looks quite different. Stirling group meeting on Wednesday 6 Dec at 7.30 p.m. (check web site, but note it is in the Allan Centre in Fountain Road, Bridge of Allan, not Chalmers Church Hall).
Thanks for this note about Stirling Group meeting, Anthony, we'll get the details changed. M

Dave,
Beautiful!! I haven't come across the C. wattiorum before, but it definitely looks well worthwhile growing. Must keep an eye out for it. The C. mathewii with the pure white petals and dark throat (with the beautiful orange style to contrast) is just SO striking. Such beautiful pics of a beautiful flower!! Well done!!
