Crocus September 2014

[Matt T]

The sun came out today and so did these Crocus, which have been sitting as unopened buds for a while (hence some slight weather damage).

Crocus banaticus
Crocus cartwrightianus
Crocus kotschyanus leucopharynx
Crocus mathewii
Crocus medius

I got this crocus as crocus nudiflorus. It forms stolons and the leaves appaers long after the flowers.
But the throat isn't colorless. Can someone help me with the ID? Is this crocus nudiflorus? (or is this a virus infected plant)?

Seem to be nudiflorus although I haven't such form, but about virus infection - of course it was my first opinion. Certainly check the leaves. It looks suspicious.

Beautiful Matt. Here there is stil not much happening .
The only two flowering are kotschyanus and banaticus but beside this two it is silent in Crocus land.

Nice set Matt.

My first one of the season-Crocus longiflorus. This one grown from Crocus Group seed 2009, sown October 2009 and flowered for the first time last year.

Very nice David.

[David Nicholson]

Thanks Yann.

Kriss same here, nothing flowering but some pots have the substrat spliting a bit.
Temperatures are dropping down we should get some buds within few weeks now.

Autumn has started in Germany, too:
011 - Crocus salzmanni two forms, nudiflorus and cancellatus
015 - Crocus kotschyanus, Cyclamen hederifolium and an unknown Colchicum
024 - Crocus nudiflorus, kotschyanus and speciosus in my lawn
025 - Crocus kotschyanus leucopharynx and Cyclamen hederifolium

[Thomas Huber]

Two plants that I thought were dead after the 2012 black frost - no flowers in the following season,
but two years later they flower like nothing has happened:
016 - Colchicum aggripinum
022 - Crocus cambessedesii, started with one corm in 2011
014 - Crocus nudiflorus
035 - Cyclamen cilicium, never saw such a dark flower, all my plants are bright rosy
008 - Crocus hadriaticus - hasn't survived, this one was a gift from Dirk Schnabel 

[Thomas Huber]

032 - Crocus ligusticus/medius, the original wild plant is much better than the trade form.
036 - Crocus kotschyanus Albus growing in the sandbed for tender plants that I built after the disaster
026 - Crocus salzmannii, two forms
033 - More Crocus ligusticus to come between this Cyclamen purpurascens

Ruben, I also not bad in identifying viruses. I even 'smell' virused plants. You speciman is very unusual, but I do not think it is virused.

[Maggi Young]

Hi Hubi! We are very happy to see that some of the losses you thought you had suffered in the black frost are now showing themselves again. It's good news!

[Thomas Huber]

Thanks Maggi - I'm also happy. Seems like only the leaves died in 2012,
but many of the below-surface-parts have survived

Hi Zhirair,thank you for answering! I will wait for the leaves and post them again. I hope it hasn't got virus.

Woow Thomas,  that Crocus cambessedesii is soo nice! I have one bub of it but no sign of it yet!

For me crocus boryi was flowering well today.
