Did they come cheap from the same place as the cvijicii which turned out to be angustifolius?

Oh, really? Yes, possible!

It is very difficult to grow Crocus in my garden. But some do grow very well. 2 months too early this year!
C. spec. Turkey (chr.?), sieberi (from TH. Huber), malyi - Croatia and C. tomm (from Thomas Huber).

Ibrahim,
I would call them still C. biflorus ssp. weldenii - not ssp. alexandri.
But the real experts may have a different view...

Needless to say - all forms are very beautiful. ;)

Hans,
very beautiful. I agree - the mild January has advanced the growth. Many are earlier than usual in flower and have fallen over already due to the recent frost period in Februar.
Btw - Would you still name yours for us?
Best wishes

  This one is for Thomas I know he loves chrysantus. It was only one which was shining in the thousants of chrysanthus with big size and broad petals.
You may like to see leaves also only two, exactly olivieri.

Ibrahim, very interesting.
What is the small one with the divided style beside the big one?
Is it from the same corm?
