Crocus speciosus 'Aino' has been mentioned several times; John Grimshaw said he isn't familiar with it and that may be true for others as well. You can see several pictures of it on my website at http://www.hillkeep.ca/bulbs%20crocus_autumn.htm It's too late to order fall crocuses so I hope this will not be considered a commercial announcement. It is not intended as one. The longer I grow this selection, the better I like it. It is by far the most "weatherproof" speciosus I have tried, and the most beautiful, and it multiplies fast, which makes it inexpensive, though not yet as downright cheap as 'Oxonian,' which has been around for ages. Crocus kotschyanus became famous for not flowering, thanks to the wide distribution of clones that flowered poorly if at all. But at least two floriferous clones also exist; I offered them for a while, and still have both in our garden. They are definitely not small-flowered. They are no longer on my website but I would be happy to share images if anyone interested would email me privately. Paige Woodward
