Crocus alatavicus (...bought as),

first crocus in my garden, hardly the snow is gone.

Bernd

Yours seem to be more open than mine. I observe this since I have got them.

Some places with Crocus are still snow covered here.

Different forms of Crocus laevigatus are still coming into flower now. Today one from Andros but the flower was still not really open, others from Evia I have shown recently.

I took a display of crocuses to the local Plant Heritage meeting today.  For a change a long arranged date turned out just right - a good show of flowers.

One that passed un-noticed by most folk will likely interest you here more.  A chance seedling from Crocus sieberi ssp sublimis (as I am still calling it - changing all the labels and records will have to wait!)  A yellow flower with brownish markings, to my eye  a hybrid with Crocus cvijicii.

Crocus time in Norfolk.  After a couple of cold months which held the flowers back nicely we now have some spring-like weather to show them off nicely.  Hopefully the mild nights will mean good seed set too.  I've been out with my paintbrush!

Apologies for out of date names - my collection is referenced to Brian Mathew's taxonomy.  One day I may change all the labels and records .... maybe  :-\
