  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Oct 6, 2015 10:42 AM concerning plant:
    This all yellow cultivar was bred by the Englishman Percival Williams in 1927 and has been the recipient of the RHS Award of Merit three times and the First Class Certificate twice. Crocus has been well utilized in the world of daffodil breeders in both seed parent role (10 times) and pollen parent role (47 times). From these efforts have arisen 52 named cultivars and 5 noted seedlings. This happened from 1938 to 1979 from various locations that were once part of the British Empire (Australia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, England) and Ireland.
    That's a pretty good track record.
