My goulimyi var./subsp. leucanthus were open in the sun this morning and clearly have much rounder petals than the regular goulimyi in the adjacent pot.  I've not seen "Mani White" either, but I guess it has the more pointed petals.

Jim, has your C. goulimyi come up through that beautiful red carpet or did you arrange it for the photographic occasion? It is gorgeous. 8)

Gerry, I have the Hythe white form and that is what I am going by. I was going to photograph C. goulimyi var leucanthus, 'Mani White' and the white form together to show the differences but was rather busy at the time and never managed to do it.
Maybe next year !
Andrew - I do hope you manage the comparative photo next year; it would be really interesting to see these forms side-by-side.

The first stop on our holiday in Greece was Mount Parnassos.  We stayed in Delphi at the Hotel Kouros - a Hotel that I can thoroughly recommend.
Close to the turnoff for Mt Parnassos near Aracova, we found our first Crocus conveniently close to the road.
The following photos show the variability of Crocus cancellatus

Just as we were leaving Delphi to travel West, we spotted Crocus on a piece of scrubland.

We were surprised to find an Anemone coronaria in flower - this would normally flower in the Spring/Summer

The Crocus turned out to be a mixture of cancellatus and hadriaticus - predominantly cancellatus

Oron,
wunderful C.hyemalis.

I'm still impressed how difficult it is to spot the small difference between C.hyemalis white form, C.biflorus ssp. melantherus and C. alleppicus from pure picture viewing... :P ;D

And I concur to Thomas - great stuff! 8)
