    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    While there doesn't seem to be a tie between this Pickwick and The Pickwick Papers, Charles Dicken's first novel, that doesn't make this Dutch crocus any less loved, on both sides of the pond. White cupped petals are liberally veined in deep purple and accented with bright orange stamen. Endlessly cheerful and spirit-lifting planted en masse.
