Reply:There are three plural forms: crocus, crocuses, and croci.





note: "crocus" can be singular and plural just like "deer" can be singular and plural. "Crocuses" is the inflected form.
Reply:Plural form is usually either: crocus or crocuses





Because it is derived from the latin (krokos) it could take the ending Croci, but I think you would be in danger of being pedantic. Perish the thought.





Never an apostrophe
Reply:Crocus's
Reply:"crocus" is Latin and the plural (in Latin, not in English) is "croci".





The Latin "crocus" is from the Greek "krokos" (plural "krokoi")
