Thanks for everyone's help with the C hadriaticus. I think I'll list it as C hadriaticus ssp. hadriaticus, form very similar to the variety 'Tom Blanchard'. I hope that will be acceptable. It will be interesting to see if the seedlings have a similar dark throat.

I'd go along with that decision, you were getting such good advice that I decided to keep quiet :-X :)

Armin, I hope you get some sunshine. I have a patch of Crocus chrysanthus Ard Schenk that I posted a few days ago which is now well past its best but has been open for only one day :(

Andrew,
interesting, your C. vernus ssp. heuffelianus does not show typical dark tips and no dark stem.
It is a variable species and I'm not the expert but for me it looks more like a tommy... :-\
What's the real experts opinion?
