Sorry I pulled them off. I have cross pollinated it with nerimanaie to see if it takes and what might turn out.

Oh, my goodness! Well, you all know I adore Crocus, but that dark, luscious goulimyi is just the bee's knees!

I see you have as good an eye for a crocus as you do for your cyclamen, Melvyn  8)

Oh dear, one day away from the Forum and 4 new pages of Crocus.. :o ::)
This kept me from applauding lots of entries !!
What a wealth of beautiful Crocus !!
Thanks for showing everbody !!

I absolutely feel for you Luc and have the same (pleasant) problem. Just too much I have to do recently, especially at the weekends. There are so many stunning things here that to comment on each is ludicrous but be assured everyone, that your lovely pictures are greatly appreciated.
