The interesting thing about growing crocuses in the polytunnel beds is that you get to see them fully stretch out without any fear of wind or rain hitting them! Then they close right back up in time for bed 😄 #crocus #crocustommasinianus #crocus-tommasinianus #crocustommasinianusroseus

I had know idea they did that! Brilliant, how obliging of them to fold back like that making picking the stamens would be so easy - that is if they were Saffron Crocuses😂

They are huge too Aly, much bigger than the standard Crocus tommasinianus I think (double maybe?) @thehardygardener

This one is on my wishlist but I bought 'Whitewell Purple' instead. Next autumn I'll buy this one from Jacque Amand. Where did you get yours?

Ah. I had a look the other day at Pottertons catalogue as I like to make my autumn planting list when spring flowers are at their best and I can see where I might add new bulbs. My last year's irises reticulata 'Pixie' probably won't flower next spring so I'm already thinking about a replacement 😉
