It would be nice to expand this page with data on:
- how to plant crocuses
- other gardening details
This would be actually nice to have for all plants.
A useful site to look for this information is: wwwDOTehowDOTcom/how_5050_plant-crocuses.html (ehow is now blacklisted, so cannot be a proper link)

- I ageee, it would be good to include appropriate cultivation details (or control details, for invasive plants) for every plant page. On the other hand, if every page contained such details in full they could get very long. Perhaps a general "Cultivation of bulbs" page could be linked to instead, with any extra information specific to the plant in question being kept for its own page? This page, by the way, has become rather disorganised. I'll have a go at re-ordering it. SiGarb | Talk 10:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Misused names
Can common names be "misused"? I've asked for a citation that the common names "Autumn crocus" and "Prairie crocus" are errors, rather than simply the usual disconnect between common names and botanical taxonomy. --Toby Bartels 22:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Crocus tommasinianus
I have taken a photo of what looks like a Crocus - would anyone be able to advise me which one it is? Flickr.com Crocus. I'm quite happy for this pic to be used on Wikipedia. UPDATE: Thanks for your message Réginald. Again, I'm happy for this to be used on Wiki as an example. --~Xytram~ (talk) 17:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Crocus longiflorus
I have replaced the picture of the taxobox by that of the true Crocus longiflorus taken in my garden. This beautiful autumn-flowering Crocus has a fragrant lilac flower with 3 red stigmas and an orange throat. --Réginald (To reply) 08:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
