Crocuses are among the most important ornamental geophytes in the global flower industry, [108] ranking sixth in terms of Dutch bulb production (2003–2008) with 463–668 ha under cultivation. [109] The crocus is one of the most popular flowers found in the garden in the late winter and early spring. [20] About 30 of the species are cultivated, among the most popular being C. chrysanthus, C. flavus, C. sieberi, C. tommasinianus and C. vernus, together with hundreds of cultivars derived from them. [20] [8] Both fall and spring blooming crocuses are cultivated for their flowers. [110] Among the first flowers to bloom in spring, their flowering time can vary from fall to the late winter blooming C. tommasinianus; the earliest fall blooming species, C. scharojanii, may flower during the last weeks of July. [111] Yellow Crocus a novel by Laila Ibrahim. Bookclub read and the one will certainly make for a good discussion. I read this some years ago so knew I was in for a great good book second time around.Established corms need ample moisture in fall when roots are growing and in spring when blooming. Unless rainfall is adequate, water in the amount of ½ to 1 inch of rain per week. Don't water in summer or when plants are dormant or they may rot. You may want to avoid planting them in areas where they will receive water year-round unless you plan on digging them up and storing them. Propagation:

C. laevigatus has a long flowering period which starts in late autumn or early winter and may continue into February. I live in a small co-housing community in Berkeley, California, with my wonderful wife, Rinda and our beloved dog, Hazel. Our young adult children are our pride and joy.
