Greetings Ibrahim with returning to Forum. Your entries allways are very inspiring!
Here weather broadcast changed and coming frost disappear somewhere - may be it turned to USA? Dramatic situation there, but here still bloom last crocuses. Today Liga cleaned pots and boxes from died flowers, but I maid few pictures.
Most valuable plant is beautiful aquisition of Crocus cancellatus from Syria, originally collected by my friend Arnis Seisums before civil war there started.
Then Crocus cartwrightianus from EP and as last

Superb plants Ibrahim and Janis!!

Here some pictures from the garden taken today, first some fine C.cambessedesii and two C.mathewii, the second one is a seedling, not the very similar looking C.m.'Dream Dancer' (over or destroyed by heavy rain here).

Hans, that yellow back C.cambessedesii is simply stunning!

[I.S.]

Hi Hans,
I agree with Matt, your yellow C. cambessedessii is perfect
It seems you are very good grower and C. cambessedessii looks very happy with you!

Oh, Hans,
This cambessedesii with yellow back is really mouth watering! I really envy you for it! But simply blue is excellent, too.
