Oooh  8) 8) 8) - love all those beautiful croci flowers, many real stunners!
My congrats to everybody.

Nothing to report here - frozen soil everywhere in the garden.
Hope current bare frosts will not become a Déjà-Vu for me of Feb.'12 desaster :-\ :( >:(

Nice image of this wonderful crocus Tony!

Here is one of your x Gothenburgensis which looks very similar to scardicus:

Superb Crocus scardicus and C. x gothoburgensis Tony and Steve.  Tony, your C. scardicus must be a good flowering clone.  Mine rarely flowers.

A sunny day and more flowers have open on my Crocus olivieri.  Not as attractive as C. scardicus but certainly easier to flower and grows well outside.

Crocus scardicus and x gothoburgensis are amazing

I have this seedling flowering now from my own seed.  The seed parent according to the label is Crocus sieberi 'Bowles White'.
Do I call the seedling Crocus sieberi or is it atticus?
