Here is my best find from last week. It is a real pearl maybe from vanish. at least for me.
I looked all around for second one but I didn't find. it was wery small slope of hill which has been closely pressed by agriculture field.
I distinguished from many long leaves and as double washed. I tryed to take photo. then I saw it does not look at all like others. You will see just below.
Last shot is for Maggi..
kind regards..

These are exquisit Ibrahim, such a snow-white flower and so finely marked. What a lovely find. I'll likely never see crocuses in the wild (unless Thomas takes me some day), but this Forum must be the next best thing.

Lesley - of course I will. Tell me where and when
Ibrahim, needless to say, your photos are great as always.
The last crocus with the white style and without the biflorus-typical yellow centre could be a
form of albinism which I have seen in some other species (minimus, pelistericus).
Franz' imperati-colour is not only a trick of light. After a phone-call with Dirk Schnabel at the
weekend we found out, that it also is a trick of screen. The first photo appears blue on my
screen and white on Dirks screen.

Ibrahim - more great photos from the mountains - Thanks!
Thomas' observation on albinism is a good one.
Have you considered leading a small party of visitors on one (or more) of your walks?

The true colour on pictures to show is always difficult. Each camera produces another colour and the true colour is determined by some factors. The colour of this crocus is a very pale blue that is the colour which I see.
Two further pictures of Crocus imperati suaveolens.

All is forgiven and I look forward to when the thumbnail size issue is sorted out.
Thanks, Andrew, but bad news_ thumbnail setting is just that---set! M
We have seen some
C. tommasinianus
before but this is 'Eric Smith', not looking very different from the side,
but showing its true form from above.

I am transported by these pictures to a place that must be very like heaven! It is hard to know whether to go hiking with Ibrahim or Rafa or just go to sit quietly in Franz' meadow, where the flowers might be enjoyed with a viennese pastry ! I will resist Hubi or Tony's places, beautiful children in both places, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Oh Rafa - Not only all those fabulous narcissus that you find but beautiful crocus too! When I get to Stansted airport do I fly to Istanbul or Segovia? While it might be good to swap plants with you, to come and walk with you would be so much better

Ibrahim,
I am always happy, if I see pictures of crocus from Turkey. I wandered several times in the mountains of Turkey but always in autumn. . I like the friendly people, mountains and plants.
Super pictures of crocus! Thanks

Maggi you can be sure, I will not allow you to eat only a little piece of my children
Rafa, I like the pale carpetanus with the 3 stripes - wonderful photos from the wild!!!
