Crocus to identify? Post them here....

Here is a puzzle. I hope the first is as labelled C. cambessedesii, but the same one has appeared in what is supposed to be  pot of C danfordiae. Which is which?

Pretty thing, Anne -  looks like C. cambessedesii to me.

Both are cambessedesii.

Thank you both!

I expect this one will be easy for all you Crocus buffs - is this C. nudiflorus? Photographed 17 October 2015 in case you were wondering!

Thanks, Tristan

Yes, looks like Crocus nudiflorus.

Can somebody put a name on this crocus which started as a single plant on the raised bed (unprotected in all weathers) a few years ago?  It seems happy and clumping up modestly.  The colours are fairly true showing bright purple petals.

Looks like sieberii to me Cyril

[Cyril L]

Thanks Ruben.  I am happy with this.  Without a label it is not always easy to be sure.  I have C. sieberi ssp. nivalis coming up into flower and I can now see the similarity.

I got this nice little crocus as C danfordiae, but the flower seems rather larger than I expected.

No offers?

A Crocus biflorus?

[Matt T]

It certainly has the look of a chrysanthus / biflorus cultivar. Somewhat close to Blue Pearl I think, but not identical.

This beautiful dark blue crocus I got as Crocus adamii. But it is so different from the others that I have. Is it even Crocus adamii or perhaps a hybrid?

[annew]

Thanks, folks. Not C danfordiae anyway...
