Yes, I know that there is a widely cultivated and sold form of Crocus ancyrensis which is called 'Golden Bunch'. But are you implying that the name 'Golden Bunch' has always properly belonged only to a cultivar of Crocus ancyrensis? Was Patrick Synge's attribution of a 'Goldlen Bunch' to the Crocus he knew as C. suterianus in error? Jim McKenney jimmckenney@starpower.net Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, where Crocus ancyrensis is over for the year and C. olivieri seems to have departed for good.
