Andrew, I agree with Armin that your Cr. vernus ssp. heuffelinianus is a [common] tommasinianus

More on C. angustifolius masquerading as C.cvijicii. The new website of DixExport (www.dixexport.com/webshop/c/crocus/19/19656/669?&pager_1ID=5) lists C. cvijicii. The accompanying photo is of C. angustifolius.

YEEEEESSSSS - finally the sun is shining in Neustadt  :D :D :D

Some of these flowers were out for two weeks or more,
but never opened due to lack of warming sunshine!

My lawn is still very green, but the warm spots
near the house became very colourful today.

The yellow crocus is C. flavus ssp flavus,
next is C. sieberi ssp sieberi - note the chewed one in the background
and the first tommasinianus Bobbo - a big thank you to Anne W.

Yes, of course I've seen it! I will have to walk outside
this evening and take good care of that one before this
caterpillar hits again!

I have another mistake with my Crocus. C. analyensis is C. sieberi 'Tricolor'

I must start taking detailed notes to include my bulb sources so I can complain

That would be Crocus antalyensis   which has turned out to be C. sieberi Tricolor, Mark  8)
