After a lot of rain Sunday we have the sun on Monday. = good combination for new flowers

Crocus banaticus
Crocus bolensis
Crocus cambessedesii
Crocus kotschyanus HKEP 9317 - the best to me of all the kotsch. HKEP selections. Large flower and very good contrast

What do you think ?

No! speciosus albus has pointed flower segments and yellow anthers.
More resembles some hybrid with pulchellus.

In my lists, I bought Crocus pulchellus 'Zephyr' last year.
Is it perhaps that one?
