Fermi de Sousa, Central Victoria, Australia Min: -7C, Max: +40C
Crazy to think about blooming crocus here -- I just dug a "zillion" tommy corms from a small bed that was being overrun. Now to find a home for them.
Your C. olivieri are gorgeous.

We got this crocus as 'Sunkist' but I've been told it is actually Crocus flavus
