Thomas,

Your lawn is as beautiful as ever.  So did he have to place his feet super-carefully for that football shot?  ;D

'Herald' is very striking, plus is that a Hubert Edelsten amongst those yellows?  Wonderful pics, all of them.

Cheers.

Thanks for the compliments everybody - great you like my lawn  8)

Chris wasn't placed on the lawn by me - he was looking for new hybrids appearing
between the cultivars. He had the ball in his hand, so I told him to keep still for a photo  ;D

Yes, Susan it's Hubert Edelsten!

Beautiful pics, Thomas!
Would have liked to tell you personally tomorrow, which seems not possible... :( :( :(

Thomas - great show of colour.  When (if we ever!) we move I will try and do the same.  With the master of massed crocus as a guide, we cannot go wrong :)
Brassband is a super form.  I have not heard of it before.  Is it a recent hybrid?  Come to that have you found any more  'new babies' in your lawn?

'Brassband' cannot be all that recent since I remember seeing it several years ago (10?) on a trade stand at one of the RHS Spring Shows. Struck by the colour I intended to obtain some but when the time came it had either been forgotten or replaced on my "to buy" list  by more desirable plants.

The  crocus meadow is not in the garden of Karl. That is a natural location.

You have had more sun today than we have had, Franz. Here it was  cold and windy and often rather dark. Your meadow is looking wonderful.
 It is a delight to see all these crocus in the wild or in a home meadow.
