Autumn Crocus Disaster
Comments (4)There are many fall crocus and no all of them flop. I have crocus cartwrightianus which is just finishing blooming and it doesn't flop. I have others that flop and I don't know which ones they are. I planted them years ago and have lost the labels. I also have safron crocus. They hold up fairly well because the foliage comes up with the bloom. Check out the question about saffron crocus blooming; follow the link in the answer and you will learn alot about the various fall crocus....See MoreAutumn Crocus
Comments (2)Joan - Here's the explanation (click below). They're also called "Meadow Saffron" - a dangerously misleading name if ever there was one, because they're very poisonous. We have some Saffron Crocus too, but they flower at least a month later. Click here...See MoreAutumn Crocus
Comments (4)Ye gods! I hope you have a professional knowledge of biological medicine. This is not a herb to muck around with. All parts of the plant, but especially the bulb, are poisonous. They cause vomiting, violent purging, serious inflammation of the stomach and bowels, and DEATH. Handling the corms can cause skin allergies in some people. No way in the world am I going to help you kill your husband! Leave this plant and colchicine in the hands of your doctor and pharmacist and other experts, who at least have some idea of what they're doing!...See MoreGrowing Rain Lily (Autumn Crocus)
Comments (3)After growing the zephranthes (white) candida for years I never ever got seeds. However this year I grew yellow zephranthes and have just harvested some seeds, but they are not like the tissue paper seeds of habranthus that you sent me Alison, they are like hard little black cheese wedges. A pic below,(which I hope will stay in the post- sorry I have missed the 1st 2mm of the ruler- lack of glasses:-) Presumably both the tissue-like habranthus and these "hard cheeses" zephranthes are soaked till sprouted, as per Annabel's post?...See Moreposierosie_zone7a
