Crocus notes

Hi Jane,

And why isn't C. pelistericus from Macedonia more widespread in
cultivation? To be sure, it's a summer-flowering, moisture-loving
alpine, but I have read that a lot of seed was collected in recent
years.

I have managed to grow 3 seedlings now in their 4th season from
seed obtained from the AGS seed exchange . They are now to a
size where I am hopeful they might flower next year. The pot they
are growing in sits in a saucer which helps keep the moisture
they need during summer.

I'm sure they were not happy today when our temperature was 32C
until darkness which is current about 9.30pm.

Cheers,

Rob in Tasmania
