Field Notes
Description:
Small herbaceous plant, from Iris family (Iridaceae), growing from a corm or a bulbo-tuber. It produces three to four long and narrow leaves, with a whitish central line; and blue or white solitary flowers, some 10 to 15 cm tall.
Habitat:
This crocus is native to mountainous regions of France, Switzerland and Balkans. We observed it on boggy shores of a small lake and on edges of coniferous forest of Jura mountain range (Wildlife Park). The lake in question is Lamoura, of glacial origin and the highest altitude lake in this range (some 1200m).
