A warm welcome to the beautiful Crocuses and their (equally beautiful Grin Wink Huh?) growers!
I say that because all my Crocuses are still buried deep in the soil waiting for more sunshine Cool

Wim, these are just as good the second time around Cheesy  All are lovely, but the purple tracery on C. alatavicus remains my favorite, exquisite!  In New England one doesn't begin to think about things like crocus until March at the earliest, so it is fun to see the brilliant color here.  The crocus might be later this year compared to last, probably April, we have a meter of snow on the ground, in fact, I waded through the deep snow to snap some pics: http://nargs.org/smf/index.php?topic=565.0

Thanks for showing these beauties.

Hi Wim,
Good to see you here.  I'm not really a bulb nut, but I was very interested to spot the name 'Petrovac' in your glorious posting. We stayed in this beautiful coastal resort when it was still part of Yugoslavia.  I remember a lone steep descent into the village cloaked with interesting trees and shrubs.  This was so far back in time that I had barely discovered alpine plants and took more interest in the attractions of the beach and the bars than the possible joys to be found in the mountains.  How things change ... is the bar open yet?  Cheesy

Hi Cliff,
it's nice to see all these familiar faces on this forum indeed.
I can imagine there was a time you were more interested in fauna  Wink along the beach...but I guess that hasn't disappeared completely, has it? I like that fauna too, by the way  Wink

Now back to the plants: I think I got 'Petrovac' from Tony G. two years ago. It was a very small bulb but it flowered from the first year although it doesn't seem to give offsets. I should try to get some seed of it.

Beautiful Crocuses, Michel and WimB. Seems you look after them well! Do you grow all your plants in pots?

Beautiful!!  Shocked

I particularly love the Crocus alatavicus and the delicate blue of the C. abantensis.  Not too long now before the autumn ones start up here.  Grin

Michael, I can barely wait for my own to appear! But the weather forecast says very cold weather next week so I have to be patience   Undecided
Therefore it is a pleasure to look at your plants (even if I'm a bit jealous Embarrassed )
