Could somebody id this crocus for me it was bought as Crocus Napolitanus,but i am not sure,also could you tell me if you see any virus on it please.
Hmm - not like the plant I grow with that (invalid) name.  It might well be C vernus which is the umbrella name for this plant and other similar ones.  However it is difficult to be sure.

WHY ignore the name on the first image?  It is the correct one ;D

'Lady Killer' is a white form with dark purple outers.

actually now I'm confused.   ::)
The Crocus photo I labelled biflorus Weldenii Fairy is correct? The other two photos are of the same pot full except the flowers are now bleached. I bought these at a garden centre as chrysanthus lady Killer

Yes - all three are 'Fairy'.
You got a good deal - I'd say that C biflorus weldenii 'Fairy' is less often seen than 'Lady Killer' .... but someone else may know better!

Is this correct: Crocus sieberi 'Hubert Edelsten' is a cross between C. ssp. Atticus en C.ssp. Sieberi ?

Yes, 'Hubert Edelsten' is hybrid between Crocus sieberi from Crete and Crocus atticus from mainland Greece. I only don't know which one is pollen parent. As interspecific hybrids usually are, this one is sterile, too.

Kasun,
your unknown resembles C. tommasinianus 'Pictus'.

Herbert,
I have no other ideas then those I mentioned.
When dormant you can check the corm tunics to possibly identify your unknown.

It is biflorus, but which subspecies - impossible from picture only.
