Marvelous species with very large flowers. Corms must be planted immediately after receiving. Doesn’t like drying out during the summer and seems that most variants prefer acid substrate. It was described from Mt. Velouchi (now Tymfristos) in Greece, but now under this name are grown several certainly different species covering large area from Bulgaria to Central Greece. Together with D. Zubov (Ukraine) I recently separated from this complex C. jostii, but local botanists still are working on this group, so I cancelled my activities in this dirrection. Hope those names soon will be published. At present I offer them according localities from where comes offered sample.
