Four offerings labelled Crocus sublimis.  Not all have pubescent throats so some maybe atticus or nivalis. 
 Those labelled 105-07 and 60-13 (see file names) have very large flowers.

At the AGS show at Caerleon yesterday, the Farrer Medal was won by Bob and Rannveig Wallis with this pan of Crocus cvijicii -  here is Paddy Parmee's pic of the plant and Don Peace's pic of  Rannveig and Bob.

For any who don't know - Bob and Rannveig grow a LOT of great bulbs!

Hot stuff Tony  ;D 8)

so many beautiful images from adorable crocus species.

First image, my modest breeding successes C. nubigena. Not fully open at +5°C but sunshine today.
Seed was sown likely autuum 2013 or 2014, grown in a cold frame all year outside but with summer rain protection. Label is 80% not readable anymore.
Seed was ex SeedEx Crocus Group. I hope it is the true species.

Second, unkown hybrid in my meadow. Likely from biflorus/chysanthus commerical types.
Third, C. tommasinianus, nice lilac, vigorous form, spreading through seed in my garden.

The weather forecast night temperatures of -10°C for the weekend.
I hope it will not end up again in a black frosts disaster as happend in Feb. 2012 :(
