Mike,

lovely clump 8). The white one is C. kotschyanus (ssp. kotschyanus) var. leucopharynx.

Thanks for that Armin.  Another photo shows how they have covered most areas of my garden.

Oh, my word! What a lovely sight - they really like you, Mike!  I do like to see plants feeling so at home.

Looks like you have the same "problem" with Crocus kotschyanus, Mike as I have with Crocus pulchellus.  I'm not sure where to plant any other crocuses as pulchellus seems to come up everywhere.

Colchicum speciosum album has been at its best this year, no rain to damage the flowers.

A late flowering unidentified Calandrinia (G&K4698)
My potted plant died but fortunately this seedling popped up in the sand plunge and is much happier there.

Very nice Pete . Can not see the leaves or the whole plant but it looks a bit  like the C. caespitosa ssp. skottsbergii we have seen in Patagonie ...

Thanks Kris. It has been suggested that it could be C. skottsbergii but the flowers are apparently larger.
