Mark,
if your memory and color is correct then I don't know any matching CV.
Perhaps, do you have a photo of the open flower?

Mark,
is the color true?
It resembles 'Romance' in bud stage.

I'm not growing chrysanthus cultivars for more than 20 years, but yours, Armin, I think, don't look as Romance, as I remember it. Mark's picture seem to be closer to Romance.

Armin I can understand that Janis is doubting. The first picture is rather "whitish" and the second in full sun is very yellow.

Luit,
the 'very yellow' effect is the flowers had just opened and photographed in brightest daylight.
As many other cultivars the color is fading with age (as visible in Thomas Huber reference pictures). 'Romance' is lovely and very vigourous.

My final statement is Mark's photo show 'Romance', too. The outside color of the shots appear on my screen with a touch of too much 'pink' which made me doubt for a moment. Probably related to the enviromental light conditions.

  I think this is C. ancyrensis.
But to be sure we must know about the corm (reticulate corm for C. ancyrensis).

Today checked my old slides - yes it is ROMANCE. My slides are the same - on one it is light creamy, on other yellow.

Yes, it is korolkowii. Colour + number of leaves. Cv. name - difficult to tell not seeing inside, but it must be Dark Throat.

Looking at Thomas excellent reference photos I belive this is not chrysanthus Canary Bird.

The flowers are quite small.
