Mesmerizing these Crocus flowers! I promised I won't open the Crocus section when I have other more important things to do (like fixing my lights stand)
but is so addictive  :o
I could use the C. x paulineae instead of lights!

Yann

very nice. Your C.vernus looks very much like mine which came from Italy,Gargano.

The C. x paulineae is very similar in colour to some of the hybrids between C. biflorus pulchricolor and C. chrysanthus which are really lovely. Again like them arising from blue and yellow flowers.

Tony the vernus comes from Monte San Angelo, i found it along a dirt road under construction.
I also have other bulbs from 2 different sources, they look different.
