Impossible to identify correct species name. More looks as cultivar.

Janis, Maggi has identified it as Crocus 'Skyline' which is an exact match.  See quote below.

Looks like Crocus 'Skyline', Cyril - see Thomas Huber's lists of  cultivars : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=5060.msg138194#msg138194

Fine specimens Tony, and nicely photographed. I particularly like the rich blue of Crocus biflorus ssp. pulchricolor.

The depth of colour in that biflorus pulchricolor! I wonder if anyone has ever tried hybridising with pulchricolor?

the colour is true.There are lots of natural hybrids with Crocus chrysanthus on Ulu Dag several of which I have shown previously.They are very variable in colour.

These are all wonderful Crocus Tony!
As others have said the biflorus pulchricolor is stunning.

Whatever happened to Vlastimil Pilous?
Is he still active?
