Nice pictures Yann!
But I think you're crocus etruscus looks virused...

Some pictures of the garden today:

Crocus biflorus ssp biflorus var. parkinsonii
Crocus cryanthus 'Ushak Orange'
Crocus biflorus ssp. alexandrii
Crocus pestalozzae - is this species common to somebody? Is this normal with blue tips?

Ruben i was waiting to see full opening flowers to put the pot in quarantaine.
If it doesn't set seeds=> compost  :-\
Most of my crocuses with virus are from the same source.

Oooouch!  Disaster stroke!!!! Just been around the garden and something or someone went to the pot where I had planted crocus minumus, dug some holes and eaten most of the bulbs .... only some broken buds left .... what could it be???? Birds or rodents?

Regards

Corrado

Noooooo! What type of rodents eat Crocus bulbs? Is there a way of protecting the pots?

What shall I do now? Dig everything out to see what can be salvaged, or shall i leave everything as it is and wait for spring?

Mice once dug in from above and ate all my yellow flowering crocuses, they didn't touch the blue and white flowering ones which were in between them...never had that happen again...maybe they just had a taste for yellow Crocusses that year. Pots you can protect by putting them in a "cage" where the rodents can't get in.

Yann, etruscus is very susceptible for virus.

Ross, very nice to see babadagensis en taseliensis in a collection! Are they good growers for you? You got them out of seed?

Thanks Ruben, I got them from Janis Ruksans. I am really enjoying them as they nose up through the compost and then open up to show us their glory.
I am very jealous of so many of the photos I see, my wish list just gets longer and longer.

Stunning Oron!!!

C. hartmannianus is particularly superb. It's a shame it's so rare and unobtainable.
