Crocus heuffelianus "Carpathian Wonder"

A breathtaking beauty, Steve :o :o :P But Crocus heuffelianus is one of the most difficult crocuses to grow at my place :(

I know that Crocus heuffelianus is often considered as only a Balkan form of the widespread Crocus vernus vernus but does anyone know of the history and provenance of Carpathian Wonder?

I guess it would be difficult to get a better picture of 'Carpathian Wonder', Steve !  Tremendous photograph !

Interesting that you would say so, Tatsuo.
I had also problems growing it in the past in pots ... it does a lot better now out in the garden.

That sound interesting you can grow C. heuffelianus in the garden much better than the pots, Luc. In my experience, C. banaticus, C. speciosus and its relations, and several spring flowering species (i.e. heuffelianus, vernus, tommasinianus) cannnot be grown here. May be they would be able to survive in the garden but I've never tried that way yet. We have long, deadly heat and high humid summer.

Just returned from Greece and found that CRocus blooming started with me, too. Regardless of very hard frost last night, flowers alive and now in sun nicely opens.
Here Crocus fauseri, named after Australian "croconut" Otto Fauser by HKEP.

I make no secret of my admiration and affection for the plantsman, Otto Fauser, so I get very excited to see this lovely crocus which bears his name.

Always interesting to see these beauties from your collection, Janis - I am green with envy!

Crocus fauseri is a real beauty and a fitting tribute to Otto.

The pink alatavicus is stunning!  :P

That is a totally unique colour break. Never thought I'd see anything like it in a Crocus! Congratulations.
