I wonder if our winters are too harsh?

And your autumn-flowering crocus is quite stunning, too - I'd never seen one grown indoors like that before, but I can see why you would. What a lovely thing to have adorning your mantelpiece. I know that bulbs are ridiculously hardy things, but maybe putting it outside too quickly can shock it? Or was it a particularly hard winter and it died? Or maybe some little slimy critter got to it? Fingers-crossed for this one to survive and continue flowering in your back garden.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Tash from vintagepretty.orgVintagePrettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417348122069803064noreply@blogger.com
