Is Crocus 'Paulus Potter' the darkest purple of any crocus, do you think? I can't think of any I have seen that are richer  in colour all over the flower and on down the tube, too.

Maggi I believe Early Perfection is coming nearby this colour.
I hope to show it soon.
Everytime I walk along this Crocus bed I am surprised again.
