Mark - Here is a close up of our "Whitewell Purple", it may not be typical as it was forced and the light was low.

Looks correct to me, John.

When exactly and in which area will you be in Germany next May?


Thomas  - We will be there from the 14th -24th of May.  Probably we will fly into Munchen as I haven't been back for years since working there, onto Weimar for a day and then to the meeting in Bremen 20-23 and back home.  Alot of driving & I haven't checked the kilometers, maybe train is wiser!

Tony, the dark autranii/gilanicus originates from a person who grows both plants.
This single corm was between standard gilanicus corms when I received it and
sent it further to you, so I assume it was a seedling, probably with autranii.
Good luck for pollinating - I will be happy to receive some seeds next year.

Janis, your "hundreds" of blue niveus look very special - hope mine will increase as well in future.

John, German Autobahn makes travelling by car very relaxed - if you avoid rush-hour. If you have time between
Weimar and Bremen you're invited to visit me here in Neustadt (one and a half hour extra drive).
Crocus will be over at that time but meeting a forumist is always worth the effort  ;D

Some more C.niveus flowering in the xeric garden and a C.pulchellus albus. Is the splitting near the petal tips a sign of virus or maybe just stress? The leaves of all these plants were strong and healthy last spring.

Thomas, I started with very few, but it takes time to increase stock.

Regarding autranii/gilanicus - comparing on picture it looks just as my pure autranii. But picture is picture, different cameras, different lights.

My Crocuses seem to have made a late start this season but now it is a little cooler (and wetter!) the action is starting.

Crocus speciosus 'Albus' and Crocus pulchellus 'Inspiration', looking a little worse for wear!

Few more pictures from today. Just opened C. speciosus xantholaimos. Few of Leonids selections of speciosus are blooming. My favourites are BLUE WEB and LITHUANIAN AUTUMN - cv. with strongest contrast between color of outer and inner flower segnents (3 pictures).

Few more pictures. Crocus asumaniae Alba opened flowers, so it is possible to picture inside. First runner of mathewii started blooming, others only shows noses. Nicely blooms C. thomasii from Italy.

I had one corm from Janis last year. I now have two, so yes it increases even for me.

Very kind Thomas.  I will let you know if it is possible to do a quick visit.

Crocus mathewi (the other pot but same clone) and C. goulimyi
Meant to say this earlier - That's the two best pans of Crocus mathewii I have ever seen.  Individually candisates for a Farrer Medal, combine the two and you're on a winner.  Well Done!   (I have a pot of this clone ... just the one in flower this year!)
