do you include the crocus species from Sicily, Israel, Crete.... with this information? You are obviously growing a Crocus, try planting some more it where it stays coolest in winter -to give them a longer growing season :p Peter (UK) And I cannot grow crocuses in Auckland, same as Tulips (hybrids) as they > all need chilling. Which we don't get here. > > Ina Crossley > Auckland New Zealand Zone 10 > >
