March 12, 2015A.I have also had forced crocus want to flop over. An easy solution is to add a few twigs for support in the grouping of crocus.
You can use a some twine or colorful ribbon to tie the crocus up, lending additional support.Here is a link that has more information about growing crocus indoors.

The crocus flowers are falling over. Why and what can I do?

April 4, 2016A.The length of time that the blossoms last will vary on the variety, the growing conditions and the temperatures.
Growing them in a protected area will extent flowering. Soil should be maintained at a nice moisture level.
Warm sunshine will shorten bloom time.Here is a link with more information.

June 21, 2016Q.blue flowering spring plant
I have beautiful blue flowering spring flowers that I had to dig up. I would like to plant the bulbs in another area, but not sure how to take care of the bulbs and when the best time is to plant them. Also, I'm not sure the type of flower that I'm dealing with. They look a little like tulips. Would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

June 22, 2016A.I think your describing Crocus bulbs.
I would go ahead and get them replanted into there new location. This could effect there blooms next spring but they should recover.
