A number of Crocus are starting to bloom in the garden here.

I watched this comical visitor in a pot of C. abantensis ,(ex Gotenburg seed sown March 07).
It spent an considerable amount of time in the cup.......eventually flying off to repeat the effort another 3 times.

Cheers Dave.

Yes Trond .The blue fades a bit towards the bottom of the cup.

I see a bud forming on another seedling so hopefully i will be able to compare for any variations in colour.

Cheers Dave.

I'm getting a little jealous! I have some fall blooming  crocuses but they are either eaten by slugs or broken by rain and hail Sad
I grow almost all my plants in the garden as I can't have too many pots!

All really wonderful, Michael.  Crocus pulchellus, especially, is to-die-for. 

How did you get it to glow in the center Grin?  The anthers on this is particularly pleasing, too!

Wow, what beautiful crocus, Michael and Wim!  Reminds me that I should go out one of these days and see if my one or two puny specimens are still there.  Roll Eyes

Does Crocus banaticus always have such a difference in size between the sets of petals (3 big, 3 small?), or was that flower not completely open yet?
