[mark smyth]

Under the tree this Christmas I would like to find corms of
1.
2.
3.

[Maggi Young]

Crocus boulosii (  http://www.aluka.org/action/showMetadata?doi=10.5555/AL.AP.SPECIMEN.K000320147&pgs=&cookieSet=1   )..... three of them, this would make me irresistible to every Croconut and do wonders for my self esteem..... it would also remind me of my happy childhood days in Libya......

[Thomas Huber]

Maggi you already are irresistible - at least for me  But don't tell Ian 

For me I would like to find:
autranii
niveus - a dark blue form
michelsonii "Turmenian Night"

For Chris I would like:
vallicola - a bag full flowering from August to November
banaticus "Novak White"
scharojanii ssp lazicus

For Tanja...... OK I better stop now

1 Healthy
2 Large
3 Easy to Grow

OK - so I'm not playing the game but don't ask me to choose ... there's too many sweets in the shop and they're ALL nice   plus the ones I want are mostly the ones I have not seen.  There's usually a good reason why a plant is 'rare' in cutivation and one of the best reasons is that it is easy to kill

[Andrew]

Crocus boissieri

[Lesley Cox]

1 Healthy

3 Easy to Grow

Me too, and all chocolate-coated.

[tonyg]

mmm ... thats the spirit Lesley

[David Shaw]

I suppose that I could lump Crocus along with beer and whisky
There is no such thing as a bad beer/whisky/crocus. Just some may be slightly better than others

[Boyed]

Under the tree this Christmas I along with brown and bronze-shaded tulips would like to find corms of

1. crocus nudiflorus 'Orla'
2. crocus nudiflorus (very dark form)
3. crocus banaticus 'Snowdrift'

[Katherine J]

Thank you Mark, for this thread, because I was just searching on the forum for a name of a Crocus which was shown by You some day this year, and I can't find it!

1. banaticus blue
2. banaticus white
3. that beautiful golden yellow with black anthers. Pleeease help me what was that? 

[mark smyth]

C. chrysanthus 'Sunspot'. Mine died back much too early this year but depending on how they do next year maybe you can have one

[Katherine J]

 

[Gerry Webster]

1 C. cartwrightianus 'Homeri'

2 C. cartwrightianus 'Homeri'

3 C. cartwrightianus 'Homeri'

So I can get some seed.

[David Nicholson]

1. a pot of 'experience'
2. a pot of 'skill'
3. a pot of 'memory'

One and two to help me grow a 'good un'. Three so that when I've grown it I can ID it.

[Anthony Darby]

I'm beginning to think Mark has won the lottery and is going to be whizzing around our chimney pots on his private jet-sled delivering much coveted snowdrops and crocuses to fulfil our hearts' desires, so for me SantaMark it's wattiorum, scharojanii and from the unopened cookie jar (can't see the pic but if Maggi likes it that's good enough for me) boulosii.
