Stunning Crocus Oron!
Last week I saw the first leaves emerge from seed I bought from you last summer. (Hyemalis, allepicus, veneris). I'm very happy with the first results.
I hope to post such beautiful pictures in 3 years :-d

Excellent crocuses, Oron,
Especially I like moabiticus. It surprisingly well grow with me, too, but not bloomed this autumn. Here started some warming and temperature day and night is around zero after minus 14 C few days ago. Still some flowers are on laevigatus, melantherus, goulimyi, ochroleucus and few others, but generally blooming was less abundant than in other autumns. Some of crocuses even didn't started yet. In same time several spring bloomers showed leaves - as allways between "runners" are michelsonii but especially long leaves has several aquisitions of C. fleischeri and some of so named "biflorus" group - those from low altitudes.

Yet another form of Crocus laevigatus is in flower here. The colour is excellent, as good as that of C. 'Fontenayi'. However, I think this may be an even better form, because the flowers have a better shape and don't collapse like C. 'Fontenayi'.

Oron , your C. moabiticus  is a great and rare beauty ! I just hope that it will be on your 'Seeds of Peace ' list next year ? and may it be a peaceful Christmas in Jerusalem this year .

                     warm regards , Otto.

[Oron Peri]

Oh yes , I agree with Luc !

Thanks Luc and Kris,

Maggi, in fact this season is particularly good for the white ones, probably due to the fact that they are native to this region and  for good conditions they grow in.

Dear Otto,

I join your wishes for a peaceful Christmas in this region once and for all.

Regarding C. moabiticus, i lost most of my plants two years ago due to excess of water in winter. Still i hope to harvest some seeds this year.

Oron
