Talk:Tecophilaea cyanocrocus

A fact from Tecophilaea cyanocrocus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 March 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that despite its name, the Chilean blue crocus (pictured), which was considered extinct until its rediscovery in the Andes mountains in 2001, is not a crocus?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/March.

Cultivation not documented - yet

I have added to the cultivation section, as tecophilaea is somewhat demanding for successful cultivation. Being as rare and costly as it is, this will help those unfamiliar with it grow it more successfully.

However, this new material is personal, largely acquired by growing the plant over the last 20+ years. I will be looking into the bulb literature in order to document this material per Wikipedia standards, so please don't delete it.
