Stunning, Tony! Have they flowered before or is this the first year any have flowered in this group of seedlings? Looks like, if this isn't first flowering for them all, there's one alpha seedling (the very richly coloured one) that is increasing fast, plus some others. All lovely, but the darker one is especially nice.

Martin

several in the pot have flowered before but this is it's best display. They are still in the original pot they were sown in ,in July 06. I never repot the pelistericus and their hybrids and the only time they are disturbed is when I get some out to give away. They always seem to be in growth and I do not want to break the roots. Benign neglect seems to suit them. This does not apply to my other crocuses which are repotted every summer.

That's what I thought, in which case the dark one is almost certainly the alpha seedling and all one clone. Which is good news because it means it's an increaser as well as a stunner  8)
