Finally we had some sun after many dark and cold days and the Crocus opened their flowers. Also the insects were back to pollinate them. Today I have seen only some hoverflies.

Yes it is, they are flowering for the first time. They are growing there together with Crocus nubigena that flowered this spring for the first time.

Sorry Ruben, I don't know it exactly but it is anywhere from Greece, maybe from Chios or Evia where I have been in 2012. I have pictures back to 2012 but I have never written from where it is and I haven't noted it on the label too.
