Crocus 2012

[Hoy]

Dave, your Crocuses give me a feeling of spring - as did the trip to Finse where the snow still lingers

Very nice Fermi --i missed that offering somehow   

Incorrectly raised from seed as C.kosaninii , i'm sure this is C.imperati --a largish bloom with wonderful feathering.

Cheers Dave.

Not sure of the sps --they may well be seedlings that have appeared in a mossy trough.
In any case i thought the scene taken today ,where one of the stems has pierced the fallen leaf, was worth sharing.

Cheers Dave.

Your crocuses reminds me of the autumn-blooming ones, but no sign of them here yet. Nice to see yours though

[Toole]

Thanks Hoy.

Crocus minimus today.

Cheers dave.

Nice stuff, Dave and Fermi;
the plant piercing the leaf is interesting- I see that kind of thing in the woods fairly often, and always wonder how it happens that the shoot pierces rather than just pushing the leaf aside!

Yes my thoughts as well Cohan --it's not as if the leaf was a heavy sodden weight...

Here's a first flowering from NARGS seed sown Feb 09 ---Crocus sieberi ssp atticus --a lovely yellow throat .

Cheers dave.
