Crocus biflorus ssp weldenii 'Fairy' .... and it looks like the plant I have grown under this name
Crocus veluchensis JJA 354.002 woodland ex Serbia, Kosovo, is this identified correctly?
Lesley, when I received my Fairy from Holland they also were white with some grey,but in the next year they had the soft blue colour you see on Pehe's and Ross' photo.I have often noticed this in Dutch plants, maybe its due to their growing method....perhaps anybody from the 'scene' can tell us more details....Also the intensity of the blue is variable, darker when the flowers are youngand fading when getting older....
Patience grasshopper!with the tepals open it looks ok, i think?
Quite doubtful. Confused by "v" mark on top of petals. No one of mine acquisitions of veluchensis has such - just checked pictures made wild in Macedonia last summer - no one has such mark. It is more characteristic to some forms of vernus/heuffelianus/scepusiensis. I really have one stock got as veluchensis from Jim looking as this one pictured by you, but I put large "?" mark at its name.Janis
