| Crocus hueffelianus ssp. scepusciensis
I have mentioned before how much I hate daylight savings time. Well it was the spring forward weekend and apparently the weather finally got the memo. The sun was shining enough this weekend to open some of the Crocus in the open plunge frames.
I should note that I have grown this under the name C. scepusciensis. But in reading Janis Ruksans book on Crocus, he regards the populations of this plant from Poland to be on the subspecific level.
Sunny and warm for a few days this past weekend. Sure was nice to feel that warm glow after such a cold and long winter.
Cheers,
