I couldn't resist a "new! pink!!" crocus and ordered a few in 2009. The color is a beautiful pink-lilac shade, and the bloom has a declicacy to it that i really like -- not tiny, but dainty looking with its more slender petals (compared to other tommies in my lawn). It's increased really well for me, too, at the edge of my front bed. That bed is irrigated in summer, but their location probably doesn't get any additional water from the soaker hose... like most fall planted bulbs, I think they do best in a dry summer location.
