Hi Everyone, I recognize it's getting late in the season, but does anyone happen to have species *Crocus* still in leaf? I'm looking for leaf tissue of any *species* of *Crocus* - so not horticultural varieties, hybrids, etc. If you remember, I am working on building a family tree for *Geissorhiza*, one of the more obscure but beautiful bulb genera indigenous to South Africa. I finally got my first batch of gene sequences back for a subset of the species and the project is going well. In addition to *Geissorhiza*, I've decided to expand my family tree to include generic representatives (an individual specimen from each genus) of the Iridaceae subfamily, Crocoideae so I can conduct a nested analysis of *Geissorhiza* within Crocoideae which will improve the accuracy of my results. If anyone is willing to part with a few leaves of their *Crocus*, please let me know and I will give you further instructions. I'm happy to pay for shipping if necessary. Thanks, and I hope to post an update on my research to the Bulb Garden later this year!
