Crocus cartwrightianus Marcel

This and its sibling Michel were selected by Antoine Hoog from CEH.613 (Evvia, 1981) seedlings and named after his two sons. They are close in terms of size and overall appearance.

Marcel has flowers of a very pale lilac hinted with white and contrasted with a lovely violet throat star and a violet tube. Red and yellow, stigmata and anthers complete the picture.
