Corms

Crocus corms. We are almost back to where I started.

I am considering changing the title of my journal. When I started the journal was to be mostly a record of my crocus collection, plus some other plants I grow. It has evolved to be much more than that, being by far the best Diary that I have ever kept. So perhaps a title to reflect my broader interests or my philosophy on life? What say you?

Right now I am repotting the crocuses, belatedly. Today you see a selection of corms from different species, showing that they are quite different. The 'tunic' around the corm is a good diagnostic feature, along with the shape. Here are Cc. goulimyi, cartwrightianus, niveus and speciosus. I'll try and show the flowers as they appear.
