It is VERY striking!  I think the colour combination is lovely.... wonder how good it looks backlit in full sunshine?

And as last another hybrid between C. chrysanthus and biflorus isauricus - one of "gems" of my collection.

So, so beautiful - a real gem.

thanks for your comments ,the weather has been kind and it has been a good year for the crocus.

Looking at my pelistericus I have noticed that some have dark anthers as in the photograph below. You will see that one has yellow and one dark. These have been grown from seed and so are different clones. Mathew mentions that sometimes the stigma is white and I have a plant of that form but says the anthers are yellow.
Not a new ssp I am sure.

Wonderful plants, everyone. If one isn't a croconut already, you would most certainly become one, after viewing all the perfect plants in this thread.
