It is true that alatavicus has a yellow throat and a sepale on two punctuated with gray on the outside ... however the stigmata are not black

Question: When I see the name "Crocus caeruleus". This implies "Crocus pestalozzae var. Caeruleus"?

Crocus caeruleus is the new name for the plant previously known as Crocus vernus albiflorus

Hi folks

Found these being sold off for a few pence in the local supermarket, just wondering if anyone can help with an id. They're labelled as a 'chrysanthus mixed'.

Apologies for the pics - they're what are on the box but may not even be indicative of what's inside. Have included a pic of the corms - hope it's clear enough.

Thanks!

Armin i think you're right, the pot was't moved for a while and it was around hyemalis pots.
Thus my other hyemalis are less pigmented, may be seeds germinated in this Gynandriris pot.
I've checked roots of the Gynandriris are still present.
2 in 1 that's how to increase number of species per m˛ inside the greenhouse  ;D

Crocus caeruleus is the new name for the plant previously known as Crocus vernus albiflorus

Plant previously known as vernus albiflorus now has name C. vernus
The species forrmerly known as . vernus etc. now are split in
C. heuffelianus, C. neapolitanus, C. neglectus, C. siculus and C. vernus.

Crocus pestalozzae blue - at present corectly - Crocus pestalozzae subsp. violaceus.

Crocus caeruleus - such name isn't officially published - see IPNI plant name register.

Janis here's a crop of the photo for more details.
the stripe is not clearly marked as typical hyemalis form.

=> back from the greenhouse after several research under pots i finally found the label  ::)
this is hyemalis, origine from the Carmel Mountains, in Israel and checking my computer i've noted this form has pigmentation and not straight stripes.  Mystery solved!
