Mika, I planted a few saffron crocus corms in early fall 2014. A few bloomed that same autumn and afterword the foliage grew and was soon eaten by rabbits I suspect. Only a couple bloomed last fall but all developed thick foliage, that this time around was not bothered by critters. I'm hoping this means I'll see a decent showing of them this fall. Considering the lack of blooms we both noted, I'm wondering if they just need a couple of years to settle in the garden? We'll have to compare notes this fall
