crocus vernus

Crocus aureus), have been called 'Crocus vernus' by other authors.

The best known are the large-flowered Dutch crocus (Crocus vernus).

Most gardeners grow the common crocus species, Crocus vernus and the many hybrids therefrom.

It has been observed eating flowers of Crocus vernus albiflorus, including the pistils, perhaps as a source of carotenoids.

Two particularly accommodating species are violet-blue Crocus tomasinianus and Crocus vernus, which also has violet-blue flowers.

Crocus vernus (Spring Crocus, Giant Crocus) is a species in Family Iridaceae.

It has smaller corms and a smaller flower than the giant Dutch crocus (Crocus vernus), although it produces more flowers per bulb than the latter.

Depending on the year, Crocus vernus starts flowering about the same time or up to 2 weeks after Crocus chrysanthus (Snow Crocus) starts flowering.

Spring in the Kościeliska Valley is notable for the fields of Giant crocus (Crocus vernus, syn: Crocus scepusiensis).

The likeliest explanation is that you bought giant Dutch crocus (Crocus vernus), and that they are simply waiting to come up when they should, in mid- to late spring.

If you've planted Dutch hybrid crocus (Crocus vernus), the large-flowered ones like Flower Record, Pickwick and Jeanne d'Arc commonly found in garden centers in the fall, they will continue to tease you for a while because they are the last crocuses to bloom.
