tow crocus for warm climate

This is not personal information, but has been taken from an article
Mat Murray wrote in the Spring 2000 Crocus Group Newsletter.

Mat lived near Sydney Australia - regular rainfall, warm humid
summers and frost-free winters. (He has since moved to the mountains.)

C. speciosus, C. pulchellus and C. tommasinianus were easy. C.
imperati was very successful.

commercial cultivars of C. chrysanthus and C. vernus were not - they
flowered once and died out.

He analysed his results, and realized that the species doing well for
him were mediterranean ones, particularly the fall and winter
flowering ones.
