Crocus
Spring-flowering crocuses are among the most familiar bulbous plants (actually, they are a tuber). We make a rough classification of large-flowered and small-flowered crocuses, however a number of new cultivars have flower sizes that fall right in between. All crocuses are very suitable for naturalising, the best known, native plant being the woodland crocus, Crocus tommasinianus.
