This is a crocus we must grow! C. speciosus 'Oxonian' in Paul Powis' garden today. Paul gave the garden a thorough watering a few days ago and these have seemingly appeared overnight. Here we are still very dry and only a few flowers of speciosus are up, but this dark form is stunning.

What a glorious swathe! Great picture, Tim.
I know some folk aren't so keen on those that bloom without the leaves, but I love the way they pop up without warning. They're just magic, not rare or expensive and easy to grow - who couldn't love these autumn blooming Crocuses?
