Ibrahim,
realy beautiful ones! 8). Wow - a pale candidus :o
Nothing beats pictures from the wild.
The C.flavus ssp. dissectus is lovely. My C.flavus ssp. flavus opened also today but the taken pictures are not sharp. My camera is a mystery sometimes... :-[

So many beautiful Crocus shown today. Thank you all!
Hope to show some tomorrow which I made today.
But reading those high temps. ?? With us really windy and just about 10 C. for two hours or so.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Ibrahim - fantastic show of pictures.  Wonderful plants.  I have always found the biflorus group difficult.  It may be that the book(s) have been written with insufficient field based evidence.  As Pasche & Kerndorff have explored the mountains in your country they have increased our knowledge but it is not complete yet I am sure!  Hopefully Thomas (who has had conact with Helmut Kerndorff) can enlighten us.
I am going to a 'Crocus Day' this week, I will ask the experts there but it may be that your own discoveries need to be given their own name ;)
Keep posting -  it is very interesting to see the plants and their variation in their home locations.  Thank You!
