Thanks for that Tony.  I'll re-label it with that information.....plus question mark, and just enjoy it for what it is.

Crocus baytopiorum ..... wish they would 'pop up' in pots here :-)

Thanks Tony, that's also not standard here ;) . I must have reused the potting mix for the Galanthus as they grow both outside but 30m apart.

I am not quite sure whether this Cocus is veluchensis or a sublimis. Seed was collected 2009 in the very East of Greece at low levels (200m asl). Just one bulb has developed so I can't compare it with others. The throat is slightly yellow and the flowers are huge, double size of sublimis for example.

At last it starts to bloom. To the crocus I have a question. It is assumed that plants that are faded from farmyard gardens are found here in damp places. It is (except C. alatavicus) the first crocus which appears here. Much earlier than the whole garden crocuses. What kind could that be? We also have a native crocus species (C. vernus), but the flowers are very late and the flowers are longer and much more cattle.
C. tommasinianus ???

Some years ago I bought some Crocus Tricolor. Among them was a few of these. They grow very well in the garden and set seeds every year.
Can anyone identify them?

This is Crocus hadriaticus, Dave. I like the forms with a brown tube.

Another unknown autumn Crocus .

Cheers Dave.

Edit  been given an Id of 'Crocus pulchellus, but looks like it has some speciosus blood, so probably a hybrid'.

Can anyone suggest an ID for this lovely autumn flowering, white Crocus?

I'd say it's speciosus with depauperate anthers, lacking pollen.  The yellow tinge in the throat leaves room for doubt though.
