Five years passed since my monograph "The World of Crocuses" was published. During this time some new conclusions about growing tips came, some more features were used to separate species. And most important 31 new species of crocuses were recognized throughout all Crocus distribution area starting from Portugal and ending in Iran, inclusive the first true yellow late autumn blooming crocus hybrid. Of course several mistakes of main volume were corrected and additions to species descriptions added - colour pictures, distribution maps etc., etc. At this moment manuscript is in hands of artist who makes page-layout, to be printed (I hope) in March. But at this moment I don't know total editing costs, weight of new book and so postage costs are unknown, too. Book will be of same size as main volume only much thinner (there are only 31 species characterized contrary to 230 in the main volume), so postage costs will be lower, regardless of rising of them by Latvian Post. You can order it already now, but I will inform you about exact costs something later. Given price is aqpproximate and can be lower. You can order book writing to me also by e-mail janis.bulb@hawk.lv On front cover - Crocus marandicus, back cover - Crocus harpkeae.
