You're welcome, Jim McKenney, for the Sativi series crocuses from my list. It's true that I did not offer the rare and endangered C. moabiticus, and I probably never will, but I have it -- grown from one of the few seed collections, by Michael Salmon in the early 1990s -- and still have 4 of my 5 original seedling corms, which are showing signs of decline now. It has set seed here, and I've sent both seeds and corms to some specialists, as well as growing seedlings from 3 different years. Although its flowers are narrow and not as large as some members of the series, it is strikingly colored. All members of this series set seed readily here despite their late flowering (there were honeybees in the bulb frame yesterday, a sunny day sandwiched between two rainstorms), and all seem to be easy to raise from seed, which can be obtained from the NARGS exchange or the Archibalds, among other sources. In the open garden, C. cartwrightianus, C. asumaniae, C. pallasii, and C. hadriaticus are dependable, and I'm now trying C. oreocreticus in the rock garden. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
