The first surprise 2010
Only one flower in my garden Crocus biflorus ssp. pulchricolor in a frame protected with Plexiglas.  The first Crocus every year C. abantensis and C. baytopiorum are still waiting.
The rest of the Garden is snow snow snow.

Welcome to the SRGC forum, Klaus-Dieter.
Seems like Southern Germany has the better climate for crocus - I'm still waiting for mine.

Tony G the advantage for mine at this time of year is the sun has moved to the back of the house for a couple of hours in the morning and hits them again around 2pm until the sun goes down

Thanks Thomas,

I don´t think so. It´s a early surprise in this “snow spring”, therefore I have posted it.

What a great display Mark :o   
So you have sunlight morning & evening but shade in the middle of the day?  Presumably this keeps temperatures lower so prolongs flowering 8)
