Thanks, Karensusan! My crocuses flower the same time as Scillas, Corydalis and some Tulips. Think that's because of they are planted in the front garden placed at the North side of the house.

Ah, yes, that would explain! It does look quite different to a standard crocus though with it's tiny leaves and huge bowl flower....it's super!

They have been flowering for a week and today - no flowers...:( How sad, but hope for new flowers next Spring...:)

That's the problem, if it gets warm it finishes them off!

You are so right, Karensusan! The sun shines and the flowers fade...
