Gerry,
Will without doubt post pictures when they flower, all the exxcitement of growing from seed!
Again your thomasii is a super specimen, and, once again we have this species as 1 year old corms from seed purchased from Monocot ( coll. Italy not Croatia? )  in 2005 sowed in 2007 and germinated autumn 2008! Flowering 2011,2012?????

Your Crocusworld in October looks phenomenal and especially the pics of Janis`s DODONA and Ian`s C. tournefortii show the plants in best light.

Posted in a new thread but repeated here.  Can you help?
Dear Tony- I am looking to film Crocus sativus for the Christmas special of the series and wondered if you knew anywhere we could film this plant flowering in a garden setting? I would be most grateful for any help you could offer.
Thanks very much

A little step into the crocusworld, Crocus vallicola with fine purple lines and yellow yellow spots. Thomas, my C.v blooms now. - I meant double spots ;)-

This is Crocus niveus 'Blue form' from Jānis. I think it is beautiful with its delicate pastel shades. 8)

Nice all these pics. Thanks at the authors. Here a Crocus I suppose serotinus ssp salzmannii from seeds mixed with Merendera pyrenaica that I received of a friend. It blooms for the first time. First time too for this seedling (3 years) of Crocus boryi. Is it boryi true or boryi x tournefortii ?

Lovely pics all!!

Hagan, that vallicola is stunning!!  I love the striping, and the elongated tips.  Never seen anything quite like it before.  Thanks so much (and to everyone else posting pics too!)  8)

Anthony, is the colour of your Crous true or is it an artefact of the camera? Whatever- a pretty stunning colour combination.  :)

If your Crocus boryi has tournefortii genes it will probably stay open at night.
I have plants labelled C boryi x tournefortii which appear identical to C boryi .... and they close up in dull weather!  It can be very difficult to tell where natural variation ends and hybrid influence begins.
