Spring Beauty, seems the whole form/lot are virused? Why do they sell them?


Crocus are early this year, some odds and ends pictures. Should have some better pictures later in the week, my brother is stopping over to take some.

Uklin Strain, pictures 1/2     Clumping up from my two original corms.

Vernus Graecus picture 3    These are clumping up fast as well.

Crocus tommasianus picture 4   Not sure which form, but this one sets seed. I had removed some anthers to cross with.

You must be pleased with the way they are clumping up, Guff. The C. vernus 'Yalta' are lovely.

Guff,

your Cr.vernus f.graecus is Cr.vernus ''Yalta''.
Cr. ''Spring Beauty'' is offered from several traders.

I love crocus - super pictures from everybody.

Dirk,
it is a pity for your "Spring Beauty". My ones show noses since weeks but I'm afraid growth stopped due roots rotting?


Crocus blossom is almost over in my lawn. 2009 flowering time was quite short due strong frosts in February/March. End of March had plenty of rain and hail. Many flowers fell over :'(

Here are my late developers...
 C. vernus ssp albiflorus
 C. vernus ssp albiflorus -close-
 C. vernus ssp albiflorus
 C. tommasianus Whitewell Purple (dark stem version)
 C. ancyrensis

That is a fine clump of Crocus versicolor and I like the colour combination of soft yellow and white.

Tony,
I like the color combination too ;D

The C. versicolor are new plantings from last Nov. The 5 corms were very large sized ea looked like a "Yellow Mammoth" Ø 3.5cm.
I thought it was a wrong delivery :-\...but fortunately not. :)
The weather is currently sunny so I hope they will set seed...

Carpathian Wonder and Pictus. This first flower on Carpathian Wonder is damaged, my guess by sudden ground freeze. Hopefully the one just popping up looks better. It may also be stunted from being out of the ground way too long last fall, the flower is small in size.

Suddenly dawned on me that the last few posts were made in April, so I've split them to a new thread  :D

Some Crocus from my garden. No extraordinary plants for the experts, but I am so happy to can grow those. And it is the first food for the bees. Sorry I always have a problem with the names. I see tricolor, tomm. albus, fleischeri, chrisanthus hybr.,...
