What's the situation re cultivars of Crocus speciosus?
If you prowl through reference sources, you'll find many names, but
my experience with bought bulbs suggests that these cultivars have
long since become confused, mixed, or contaminated by seedlings. I've
had several and for the most part they were neither uniform in
appearance or particularly distinct from other forms.
Is any institution growing these under conditions that ensure
accurate naming and no contamination?
Does any PBS list subscriber grow any particularly distinct form of
C. speciosus other than the white?
