Fred - C. wattiorum was discovered by Peter & Penny Watt in SW Turkey (Tahtali Dag) in 1986. It was first described as a subsp. of C. biflorus but is now regarded by Mathew as a distinct species. It is extremely rare in cultivation - I have never seen it. Lucky Dirk!

Dirk,
You grow these crocuses very good and you show us always the best.
I have nothing to say.

Ibrahim,

I attach photos of plants from the Negev. [it has been suggested to saparate this form into a new species]


It certainly is different species, different corm tunics netting, flower.

very strange this C. wattiorum !
never heard of it before,... like many other species  ;D

C. wattiorum allways opens very wide, this year I even can't make good pictures of it. Not many others open so wide as wattiorum. This well seperates it from nerimaniae.

Nice pics from all.
In flower by me today:
Crocus caspius 2x
   ``    nerimaniae 2x

Very good caspius. I have only lighter and pure white. Yours nerimaniae is very light, too (may be camera effect?). Mine are much darker and some are slightly striped. I noted that yours (as mine, too) are not showing leaves at flowering, contrary to original description. With me leave tips appear only at end of blooming.

My nerimainae opened completley flat in the sun yesterday. I can see no difference with wattiorum from just looking at the flowers. Hopefully I can look for differences in the wild next week.

I'm very angry this morning. Over night boys without fathers, cant say the word, smashed one of the louvre panels in my green house and stole 8 pots of Crocus and threw others on the ground. He or she and their friends need a firework shoved up their a$$

I just aquired this crocus as C. cancellatus cancellatus.  Pretty little guys, all looking identical, thus most likely a single clone.  Certainly darker than the C. cancellatus shown on this forum.  Any comments as to veracity?

Thanks for the comment, Mark.  Yours looked softer in colour and almost bi-toned to me, but this could be a monitor artifact.  I simply do not know a lot about crocus and often don't see the differences between species and types.  A learning curve.

Really sorry to hear about your spot of vandalism!  It's hard to understand the motives, besides being short on a number of brain cells.
