Thx Thomas. It a newbie from Janis his list!

Yann, i don't think its a virus but a mechanical deformation. Our growing season is very strange. TO hot and dry... i had the same with a collection of mazziaricus

I've another pot of the same specie with similar deformations and discoloring band with yellow strips. On the photo you don't see very well the yellow strips inside the flower. I prefer to isolate these pots. speciosus is not rare and pricey. We need cooler climate but next week gonna be warmer  8)

Pictures of my most impressive wild Crocus location at Voras, Northern Greece.

Stunning fields of pelistericus!
Nature certainly knows how to grow this difficult Crocus, which I struggle to grow.
If you come there again in the late spring/summer, you are very welcome to collect some seeds :)

It is not virus, just mechanical or physiological damage due unusual growing conditions this season, late replanting etc.

ok Janis, i place the pot in the garden and will see next season how it looks.
For almost 10 years the unsual season seems to become the standard.

I agree, especially last years. I'm more and more seeing autumn crocuses blooming in box before replanting (residual stocks after planting of main collection) and very short flowering with flowers coming irregularly and soon faiding.

I can't agree anymore. I know a guy who use an old restaurant frigo with pots inside in order to delay blooming date.
Not ecological at all be it works fine.
