Ibrahim, my pestallozae is very little flower with black point at the base of anther not very visible on my pic, and cannot be sieberi. I will try to send a better pic if sun this week end
Tony, fantastic pics of lovely Crocus. Thank you

[I.S.]

  Dominique so you might be right flower size and shape looks like. Which I have seen this species on wild has
very long leaves twice of flowers or more. Maybe cause of growing conditions or yours is a early flowered one.

Tony, those pics are lovely. Keep 'em coming. I defy anyone not to smile when looking at the first one (Crocus cyprius, as they just smile back.

[David Nicholson]

Lovely pictures Tony. Thought you had, maybe, lost your camera!

Crocus chrysanthus 'Sunspot' today with 37 flowers from 3 corms. If it can do this every year all you need is one per pot

[Maggi Young]

Those C. 'Sunspot' are a pot full of pleasure if ever I saw one.... glad to see you, like Hans (in another thread) also had some sun today, Mark.

that really is a cracking variety Mark. It's down on my wants list from Potterton's next year.

Thanks for the link Mark. I'd forgotten about that one. Also forgotten the handbags themselves apparently. I remembered them as All Pinks.
