Hi Karl. Many thanks for your photos. Seems like you had a lot of luck with choosing the right time for bulb hunting. Please show some more photos if you have.

Are you sure your last photo is Crocus niveus?
The stigma points more to C. hadriaticus.

[Viola]

Thank you Thomas embellish that you comment on this photo, was it not sure for me either.
Unfortunately, I can not send any additional photos, bring none more out, always get Error.
