Crocus chrysanthus "Sunspot" seed

[matoutdoors]

Howdy all.... I am a VERY infrequent visitor to the forum  ... its hard to find the time in my busy life. I have been seeking plants of Crocus chrysanthus "Sunspot" here in Australia for years. It is grown only by Marcus Harvey here (that I am aware of)  .... In desperation I am seeking seed from this cultivar. Perhaps one or two will exhibit the dark stigma of the parent.

If you have some or your plants set seed. PLEASE send me some. I am very happy to pay for the seed and postage

Many thanks


Mat

Hi Mat,
 Great to hear from you - I do hope someone will be able to help out with your plea.

I'm not aware of our Sunspot having set seed - but I'm sure that seed has been mentioned before in the forum .......

I bought a single corm of 'Sunspot' from Marcus a few years ago but alas it never showed its nose at all. Now of course, Marcius no longer exports, our final source of new material gone.

Cheer up Lesley, even here my main source of new plants is from seeds!

[Maggi Young]

It's meant to come fairly true from seed,  think.

[Lesley Cox]

But at least you can GET seeds Peter, of what is listed. We can't for the most part. Stop whining Lesley!!!!

When I receive seeds I have been looking for for a decade I feel very happy Lesley. I could easily give you a list of seeds which I am keen to obtain and have been looking for for years. It is fortunate that such treasures do not come so easily,  -because experience grows with time, then one is better able to care for them when they do arrive.
