Hey, I didn't know this forum existed!

Yes, mine are growing and spreading, but not fast enough! I agree they're such a delight. I want more, more, more!

how do you like it?

Debby:

We planted a lot of crocus bulbs last fall, just knowing that in a few years there would be too many. But we love the crocus 'clouds' too. Just be patient. They do 'naturalize', but it takes time.

debbie- you know... you can plant NEW crocus bulbs in the fall !! - But meanwhile,the older batches will get fuller and fuller each year. I dig up some to start new batches here and there every spring,though, while i can still remember what color they were, and where the bulbs are, for heavens sake (in the fall, that is impossible)!- In fact, I've been doing that this week, while I am thinking about how much I love them, and the green leaves are still visible. All the concern about moving them while they still have leaves doesn't seem to apply to crocuses.... sarah

Two bulbs which seem to pop up for me away from planted groups are crocus and hyacinth. It's nice to see them halfway across the garden!

Or out in what's left of the lawn

i bought "mixed snow crocus" and so far, they are all white or yellow.
i want purple!

Chinondoxa shows up all over my yard. big spreader.

Thanks for all the info! I think next spring I will separate them to help them spread everywhere a little faster. I just love them!

Does anyone know what the little tiny yellow crocus are called? I can take a photo of them, but it will be much later today.

I think they are called: tiny yellow crocus?

I just love your sense of humor.

Here's a photo ...

Thanks Candyce. Would you tell that to my family?

I'm sure they are well aware of your wonderful sense of humor and really appreciate it.

sorry I missed this thread sjms. Welcome to DG - hope you enjoyed the wonderful weather today!

That's not how they put it! Even my 8 year old rolls his eyes!

I won't stop rolling my eyes until I know what the name is of that tiny (only about an inch and a half high) yellow crocus.

George.

Oh well ......
' guess I'll never know

Just a guess Candyce, but maybe Goldilocks? The two early ones I know of are Golden Bunch, and Goldilocks. Don't want your eyes to get permanently stuck rolling.

Thanks Polly.
Now Anna tells me that it's an alpine flower of sorts ... maybe a snow crocus (Dorothy?).

hi candyce- here's my thought- its in that general catagory of crocus chrysanthus- as is "dorothy"- but there are lots of those.. variously named ones, but they are basically bright yellow, and little. and species crocuses are often called snow crocuses... so....you can agree with everyone... sarah

hi seander!

Very diplomatic, Sarah.
Thank you.

Hi sjms :-)

I think Goldilocks is a snow crocus. It has the darker markings on the outside.

I love this tiny flower. It looks so happy and joyous!
It's got bright yellow blooms with almost chocolate striping on the outer petals.

I really don't care if I don't know what its exact name might be. I'll just enjoy it in my garden.
Thanks everyone, for all of your help.
