Crocus archibaldiorum (speciosus group), commemorating the great plantsman, Jim Archibald.

There are very many crocus speciosus with such patterns growing in the soth of our country. I collected quite an interesting colour forms with nice combinations, which will soon I am going to introduce as cultivars.

Sorry, all of them are upside down. No idea what to do with it

Hello Oleg -  I have turned them round for you now ! 

[olegKon]

Thank you, Maggi. You are a super computer-skilled hero

[Maggi Young]

Oh, far from  that- I assure you- just able to do some little things that help!   This problem happens sometimes, though I do not know why - Ian thinks it may be something to do with the way the pictures were saved in the first palce on your computer ---- I have no idea, but most times I  can turn them here.

Zhirair, compare position of stigma in C. archibaldiorum and in yours. Both are very different. I'm just now working on yours which I intend to name C. armeniacum,

Extremely busy now. Tomorrow will fly to Edinburgh - to speak for Jim Archibalds Memory lecture about new and old crocuses at Scottish Rock Garden Club Conference. So only one picture which surprised me by its beauty. It is ordinary Crocus pallasii, could be type subspecies, but still not finished identification. It is the first bloom with me from population found in Turkey in Europe (more precisely shown to me by Ibrahim when we searched for C. ibrahimii).
