Some pictures of

Crocus pelistericus
Crocus scardicus

and the hybrid between them

Crocus gothenburgensis

with in this case C. scardicus as the seed parent. Apart from being paler it is very similar to C. scardicus and the more lurid colours only come out in the F2 generation which I have not produced yet.

Finally all three together with the hybrid in the middle

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.
