Returning to Crocuses.
Yes, the yellow shade in biflorus melantherus buds fades with time but at very start it is almost of same shade as in scharojanii var. flavus. Still several crocuses are bloming in my greenhouse, between them several stocks of biflorus melantherus, but this yellowish shaded are long away (it was the first in bloom this season).

Janis,
thank you very much. The "yellowish" remains a very beautiful form even when fading.
Best wishes
Armin
