Default Question on Crocus The first crocuses!!!

Madgardener,

Glad and cherr for you!

I bought my first crocus 4" pot on Feb.8 from home depot and put it by
a window facing northeast. BTW, I'm in SF bay area and unfornately I
dno't have a garden. It has flowered for a week. BUt I noticed that
the pedals of several purple flowers started to be papery and the
flower heads seemed too heavy to be supported. Now I only have two
normal flowers standing and the other five flowers are papery and look
bad. I always kept the soil moist. I'm wondering whether this is
normal. Do I water too much? Does the flower only have 1 week's time?
The life is soo short. Is there anything I can do? Or, have to wait
for next year?

Thanks a lot,
Tiff
