Nice plant Alex. Here is one from me courtesy of a generous friend Crocus angustifolius

[ChrisB]

Got this little sweetie from Bob Potterton.  He says its Crocus imperati ssp suaveolans.

Which one Lesley?

[Lesley Cox]

The whole jolly lot really Mark, but especially the sieberi 'Ronald Gins.' I love these sieberi forms with the markings on the outside. I haven't come across any yet but will try some from the next Crocus group list, in hope.

I'm surprised to find some of mine well into growth already even though it's been dry here for weeks and we could use good, steady rain. I lifted a few a while ago and there's already a lot of root and top sprouting on biflorus subspecies.

John, superb potful and lovely photos 

[Ragged Robin]

Graeme, a wonderful view of C Roseus but all three crocus are unusual and wonderful.

Tommie?

The sheaths say this is a tommie that was supplied as minimus  The flowers are very nice shade of blue with white bases and tubes

[Armin]

Mark,
another case of "Impurity"?

[krisderaeymaeker]

This year it took too long ,but at last here the first one ...
Crocus olivieri subsp. balansae 

[Maggi Young]

....a long wait, Kris, but very much worth it to have your crocus season begin!

[mark smyth]

Crocus olivieri subsp. balansae  is a very good colour combination.

Armin I think if all in the pot were tommies I would be happy. Tomorrow I must beat the sun to get a photo of the flower closed.
