Arthur,
That melantherus with black strips outside is stunning!!!

Here are some photos I have taken in the last 3 days in SW Turkey, hopfully there will be more .
It is the first time i see this form of C. cancellathus, it has whitish creamy color, and is widespread from above Kemer 160m up to 1260m [the area of C. anataliensis], they all look exactly the same , no variation at all.
Any one knows this form? is it a ssp. ?

My first thought for your white cancellatus was Crocus cancellatus ssp lycius which is white or very pale flowered.  Checking in Brian Mathew's book it is listed as being found in W Antalya & E Mugla provinces in SW Turkey.  I think this must be it!
Great to see them in the wild, both your home species and those you find on your travels.  Thanks!

I have never seen nerimaniae on my travels in Turkey - a beautiful Crocus - and the pallasii pallasii is simply stunning.

Keep the photos coming please
