Nice crocus Tony!

I now have three pots of x gotoburgensis. It seems to cope well if divided and re-potted just as the foliage is starting to die down. However, I struggle to flower scardicus.

Crocus pelistericus white form
Excellent plant, but IT IS NOT PELISTERICUS. Check the leaves! On the picture the leaf has white median stripe! But C. pelistericus leave are without the white median stripe! Or it is optical illusion ?

Yesterday we had +2 C and rain changing to heavy snowstorm in afternoon. I used wet snow to make snowman on top of recently sawn crocus pot to use melting water for watering of seeds and substrate. But in night frost returned, again outside are minuses, but nothing dramatical is offered for February. Only sparrows are sitting with backs together on their feeding table - to save the warm. I wait spring! All winter paperworks are done, I tired from waiting...

Janis thank you for your observations but you are incorrect and it is Crocus pelistericus. What you have seen as the white stripe is in fact part of the silver bract showing between two leaves. I have in previous years crossed it with C. scardicus and produced seed which would not have been possible as my understanding is crocuses do not produce intersectional hybrids.

Tony, I commented only what I saw on the picture, where it is impossible to recognize 2 leaves with bract between. Sorry!
