You definitely don't want boar among your bulbs.
I have offered on a few occasions to organize a crocus tour in Israel and it is still valid!!so both of you and other 'croconuts' are welcome, i think it would be great to hear more opinions regarding some of the populations.

Quote from: Oron Peri on December 05, 2009, 10:46:30 AMJust to show some more variation in the cancellatus populations:On the left sample of the population from center Golan Heights [790m], robust plants, corms are big and more flat in form while the other, on the right is from a higher population [1050], tiny plants, elongated corms. this population is growing in wet highlands and are covered with snow each year.Both corms on this picture has very coarse tunic regardless of size and shape, tunics are of same type. This intermediate form on earlier entry has very different tunic, so, if it is growing widely and forms constant population, most possibly it is different taxa, may be another subsp. of cancellatus? Or even different still undescribed species?Janis

Janis beautiful crocus.An early Crocus graveolens
I find they are quite varied,some plain and some striped. Here is a striped one not yet open.
