I can send you corms Jim not the best quality and time to send, but they are not dead resuming there is only one grower from C. Spring Beauty J v.d Berg from Boltha BV http://www.boltha.nl/spring-beauty-copy.html They grow only on large scale C. Spring Beauty C. minimus is over 10 times more expensive so why replace them , The opposite should be more logic C. minimus makes much smaller corms and increase very slow by "division" but fast by seed I have the same experience here with the C. minimus I collected in Corsica Roland 2013/1/31 Jim McKenney <jamesamckenney@verizon.net>: > Good, now we're getting somewhere. > > If the corms in Roland's image are corms of true 'Spring Beauty', then it's obvious that they are not corms of a form of Crocus biflorus (for those of you who are trying to follow this but are not croconuts, C. isauricus is often placed as a form of C. biflorus). > > The question to resolve now it seems to me is this: is the true 'Spring Beauty' simply a large-cormed form of C. minimus, or is it something else? > > Until that is resolved, doesn't it make better sense to refer to this plant as Crocus 'Spring Beauty' while we wait for its relationship to be determined? -- R de Boer La Maugardiere 1 F 27260 EPAIGNES FRANCE Phone./Fax 0033-232-576-204 Email: bulborum@gmail.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/pages/Bulborum/…
