Poul

Nice crocus Poul. I suspect your C. corsicus  may be a hybrid. According to Mathew the throat should be white or lilac.

[Mavers]

What a marvellous sight Thomas, thanks showing us.

The sun shone here all day on Saturday & the crocus were wide open soaking up the warmth.

Some more hybrids:

Hi Hubi - Your crocus lawn is maybe the best in the world.  Who needs fussy rarities with a display like yours?  These hybrids, maybe with garden vigour, are worth just as much.  Great to see them in the sunshine

A white Crocus pelistericus

Absolutely stunning Tony!  It seems there are albino forms of most crocuses.

[Thomas Huber]

You're completely right, TonyG - I really enjoy these Crocusses as flowers, not as species....

TonyW - what a wonderful white pelistericus, and as always grown perfectly.

Daniel - seems like your trip to Tuscany was successful....great etruscus plants!

[Tony Willis]

Thomas  thank you,the climate helps.

two Crocus pelistericus almost white with slight purple streaks.

Another two striking Crocus pelistericus Tony.

Two not so striking crocus:
Crocus paschei
Crocus chrysanthus Macedonian Ivory

Gerry, you are probably right. They are 'just' commercial ones, but I find them pretty anyway.

Cyril, how can a Crocus not be striking 

- Rain has damaged most of the chrysanthus flowers in the lawn now, but in a shaded part of the garden they are at their best now
- Cyclamen coum and Galanthus doing well
- Crocus etruscus and suaveolens planted together - not easy to distinguish by flower
- views from the garden with many vernus variants and hybrids with tommasinianus

[Thomas Huber]

- Crocus malyi 'Ballerina'
- Crocus x leonidii (angustifolius x reticulatus) Early Gold
- Crocus versicolor and in the background Crocus vernus/exiguus from Croatia
- garden views

Fantastic view of your Crocus (and Galanthus and cyclamen) lawn Thomas.  Very uplifting.
