Would anyone have a name for this crocus which has seeded itself into the raised bed in my greenhouse,
thanks

Janis, Ref. your danfordiae. I have attached a photo of one of my crocus labelled danfordiae from CS seed 04.Can you confirm?
2nd photo is from AGS seed in 99 and labelled Vernus sps.Any idea`s
3rd photo from CS seed 2000,Biflorus biflorus
4th photo from AGS 99 labelled Flavus flavus, is this Vernus dark tipped form?

[I.S.]

  Jim the what I think
1. pic. C. danfordiae
2. pic. C. angustifolius (or Chrysanthus x biflorus)
3. pic. no idea
4. pic. C. vernus

Jim,
No.3 C. versicolor "Picturatus"

[tonyg]

Jim
danfordiae
angustifolius
looks like versicolor Picturatus - but unlikely as a seedling
tommasinianus ?x vernus perhaps

Many thanks to you all, I thought No,3 was true to seed label ie,Biflorus biflorus and No.4, Vernus vernus dark tips.

Mike - sorry I missed yours in the flood from Jim!
It looks like a Crocus sieberi probably ssp atticus.

[I.S.]

Jım I am not so sure but your 3. crocus doesn't looks like subsp. biflorus to me!. Leaves too short, petals are thiny for a biflorus and the stripes also doesn't look like biflorsus.

The first - danfordiae
2nd - angustifolius or some of chrysanthus-biflorus cultivar seedling - check tunics
3rd - dont think that biflorus, but tunic must be checked, can be hybrid, too
4-th more looks as heuffelianus - stigmatic branches in vernus much overtops anthers, in heuffelianus at same level.

My "Picturatus" for comparison.

Don't think that it is picturatus, as I remember, it was sterile, so not possible seed origin.

My 'Picturatus' has seeds from time to time, but not each year.

Crocus lost label

[Tiggrx]

Can anyone help with identifying this Crocus please?

[tonyg]

Mark - first thought is C kosaninii, or perhaps C sieberi.  Look up the leaf details on Crocus Pages and compare them.  I think you will be able to resolve it.  

Tiggrx - perhaps C etruscus or C versicolor.  Difficult to tell without more of the whole plant.  It's a beauty whatever.
