Crocus cartwrightianus is closely related to C. sativus, grows very well in
our dry late summer and October rain, and tints our paellas to perfection.

C. cartwrightianus is just sending up its green brushes here. In years past
it bloomed in mid-November. How pleasing that that cameras nowadays can
record date and time without imprinting it on the image.
