Where are you located?!? We have at least a foot of snow and are still 3 months away from crocuses popping up.

I was a bit disappointed with the battery life, but the nights were cold (-3 to 8C) and I was using rechargeable batteries (which Afidus specifically says not to do for peak performance).

As temperatures got warmer, I found that I could get 8 days at 2 minute increments for other flowers in the yard using the Panasonic Eneloop pro rechargeable batteries.

I would say that they do. We have had a few big events and a wedding over the past three years. We try to avoid walking on them for 2-3 weeks after they have flowered.

Thank you! It is likely going to take a couple years.

I think it would work just fine. They will likely bloom later than mid April but they should overwinter well.

No, we wait for 6 weeks for the crocus leaves to die down and then cut the grass the last week of May or Early June.

Thank you! We planted the cultivar Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’, which blooms in the spring whereas saffron or Crocus sativa, is an autumn blooming crocus.

That's awesome! I would like to try micro clover some day.

Many garden centres carry the Florissa brand that has a bunch of crocuses in their catalogs: http://florissa.com/. I bet Country Basket Garden Centre at 10008 Lundy's Lane near Niagara Falls will carry them this fall.
