Nice pictures ruben. We are a little bit behind you and there were no open flowers today. The first flower of Crocus tournefortii was destroyed by the rain.
Your Crocus caspius is much more attractive than mine.

Nice pictures Luc, especially the sequence of Crocus karduchorum. I have never had any flower of this species despite having two big pots full of corms.

Also nice pictures Ruben I am still hooked of Crocus nerimaniae.

This Crocus niveus form looks very intersting. Mine are only white.

Here also some sun today and some more species have come into flower. Crocus laevigatus from Eretria (Evia, GR) is flowering for the first time from self collected seed.

Just some new pictures from today. Crocus pallasii from Samos has very short filaments. So is it really this species?
