The supplier has admitted that the colouring of these 'mathewii' isn't correct and that these seedlings should have been rogued out during last season. He has promised to send some replacements next year. That is an answer of a responsible supplier, and I will gladly buy bulbs from him again.Poul
Very accurate to my eyes Gerry, I wonder how much the black background influences the way the colour is seen? ...... by cameras or humans!

Here a couple from me photos 1 and 2Crocus salzmanii el torcal offsets given by a good friend a couple of years agoCrocus gilanicus from yet another forumist in 2006. Can't recall whether this was from seed or bulbils
Poul so is it still mathewii or another sp,if it is still mathewii why is it that because of us humans it needs pulling because it hasn't got the fashionable purple centre,also can i ask why is it all of a sudden purple centred forms of other sp are being found,were they always there but not considered noteworthy or is the purple center to all these sp hybridisation in progress?Not by growers but naturaly before i get my head chopped off for implying something.Have they all evolved from one sp which had a purple centre in the beginning and then genetically changed from there.Sorry for all the questions.
Nice C. salzmanii Ian . I am confused about the gilanicus . He looks quit different from what I grows as gilanicus ?
But the fact that there are so many crocus species and such a variation make that genius very exciting.Poul
El Torcal is a magnificent limestone formation covering a large area outside the town of Antequera not far from Malaga. The crocus is widespread across the whole of it. It has a wonderful selection of flowers including paeonies and orchids and Iris planifolia in large numbers. The nearby reservoir has at times large numbers of flamingos on it.
