I have added photos of some crocuses in the wild to the wiki, which can be seen by referring to the Fall Blooming Crocus subsection of the Crocus page under Photos and Information. The species added are C. goulimyi, C. mathewii and a probably hybrid of it with C. pallasii, and C. wattiorum. When I was editing it I noticed Mark McDonough's statement that C. tournefortii is probably the most beautiful fall crocus, so I suggest Mark take a look at C. wattiorum! John Lonsdale grows this rare and recently described species and has photos of it on his Edgewood Gardens website, the latest version of which is very easy to access even with my slow connection -- thank you, John. Other crocus species I saw on my recent trip to Greece and TUrkey were C. boryi, C. cancellatus, C. niveus, and C. biflorus ssp. melantherus. Many of the C. niveus in the Peloponnese were the "blue form", with pale lavender outer tepals, rather than the pure white form more familiar in cultivation. I find this blue form comes pretty true from seed here. C. boryi was so common in Greece that I mean to try it in the open garden -- I've been cherishing it in the bulb frame. Back at home it is in the mid-20s F today but the cold snap should be brief and the bulbs should be fine, seedlings having been brought into the solarium a couple of days ago. My last-ditch maneuver against the field mice, fitting wire mesh over a whole section of crocuses in pots, seems to be working; the flowers are poking up through the mesh, but on the other hand, the weeds are inextricable. For the latter problem I'll need a long-nosed tool such as a hemostat to reach through the wire and grab the weeds at the base. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
