What wonderful photos you bring to us on your debut here, Michael.  Welcome!

Ccocus chrysanthus certainly is a variable lot.  I would have thought your pic of C. chrysanthus from sumbegli was a different species!

Welcome Michael to the NARGS forum - your pictures give warmth to a soul sitting in Colorado with temperatures nearing zero F. and apparently staying there for a few days.

Wow, Michael,
I've just ordered this one (can only afford one corm!) so it's good to see what it looks like! It'l take awhile to achieve what you've got though!

Tony,

I just love the delicate colouring on the Crocus biflorus ssp pulchricolor hybrid c322.  Very different (and very nice).  The angustifolius is such a great contrast in colours.

Great stuff!!  Cheesy

I have to say, growing crocus in pots sure is the best way to admire them up close. 

ALL of them are just fabulous!

Rick, I'd like to do both eventually... have a greenhouse and grow them in pots to enjoy the flowers early and unspoiled by weather, although from what I've seen of potted plants versus plants grown outdoors, in the right conditions plants growing outdoors can bulk up into spectacular clumps that surpass potted plants.  I would possibly favor growing autumn crocus species in a greenhouse though, as the autumnal flowers are more likely to be damaged from inclement weather outside.

But I agree, Tony and Michael, all of these crocus are fabulous, thanks for sharing... crocus are among my favorite plants to dwell upon and I spent lots of time on SRGC ogling them, so it's nice to be able to ogle over here on NARGS too.
