Looking good.  Glad Sophie made it here .... I pointed her this way when asked about crocus information.

Kris, beautiful but rarely seen or available.

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?

Crocus atticus. C. sieberi is only on Crete.

Nice Crocus from everybody, especially the cyprius, a fave of mine. My own pot is ready to open now, but I think I'll be at work whenever it gets enough sun for it to do so.

From today, a very nice C. veluchensis from seed collected by another forumist. This is a big flowered clone, but I have some more veluchensis coming along with a more intense colouring (and a white one).
