Can you advise how long I should expect my crocuses to flower for I seem to be getting no more that 3 days. Picture 1 - Today Picture 2 - Tuesday
The pots are not dry.

    They don't last long but I've never counted the days I'm afraid. It helps if it isn't windy.

    They last a bit longer in cool still weather and it's been on the warm side for a few days (not today though, brrrrrr!). Mine are long over now but I think I got a couple of weeks from the first hint of colour showing to completely gone over.

    I got two to three weeks from some of mine, but those were in a sheltered, sunny spot in pots, so protected from the weather a bit. I had some in the lawn (so more open to the elements) that lasted three to five days.
