If your picture is correct and I well understand colours on it, correct name of this one is Crocus minutus. My greetings!Janis
CyrilI raised the C. gothenburgensis from my own seed obtained by crossing my C. pelistericus and C.scardicus both ways. Since reaching flowering size both them and the parents flower every year and I am now working on the f2 cross. My climate seems ideally suited to them.
Now I'm attaching shocking picture. It is not mine and I hardly hope that it isn't photoshop joke. I got it today from my correspondent from Kazakhstan, who pictured it in wild. There are name Crocus alatavicus attached, but in any case for genus crocus it is incredible colour.Pity that C. alatavicus is very slow increaser and not the best grower in cultivation. There were few incredibly coloured selections made by Czech, but all were lost during years just due difficulties in increasing and keeping. But this one surpass everything ever seen.
Absolutely unbelievable Janis. I cannot believe my eyes!
My Crocus aerius has opened up and looks different from your's Cyril.
