Crocus zonatus is an invalid name for C. kotschyanus (WHY do the Dutch keep using names, like Cyclamen neapolitanum, that have been invalidated decades ago?), and as Judy says, the commercial form is notorious for flowering poorly (though it will bloom if dried off severely in summer and grown very lean). However, there are at least three clones of C. kotschyanus and plenty of wild forms that do flower; the most widely available is called 'Reliant', and an even better one is one from Janis Ruksans under a JRJK collection number. The C. kotschyanus ssp. cappadocicus that I gew from the Archibalds' seed also blooms well. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
