According to the Myddelton House Society and many other sources, the correct spelling of E.A.Bowles' home is Myddelton not middle or myddle so the crocus should probably be Crocus 'Myddelton Cream.' I received mine too, from Marcus Harvey, and with that spelling.

A few Crocus that Thomas Hubert kindly gave me. I have lost most of the labels so hoping that Thomas is watching and will identify them.

TH2 is Crocus imperati .... and looking very fine they all are!

Thanks Tony,I found labels with  C.imperati ssp imperati and also C. imperati ssp suaveolens. One seems slightly darker that the other but I don't know which. Any idea how I can tell them apart ?

Hi Susan, great photos of my plants in your garden.
Tony is right, your photo TH2 shows Crocus imperati from Southern Italy.

imperati and suaveolens can be distinguished in most cases by the following features:

-imperati has much darker coloring than the soft coloured suaveolens

-imperati is larger

-imprati has a bracteole, which suaveolens hasn't

-the leaves of imperati often start growing in late autumn, while suaveolens leaves grow with the flower

Photo TH 1 shows Crocus chrysanthus 'Goldene Sonne'
TH3 is chrysanthus 'White Beauty'

Finally I was able to sort out some photos of my little crocus garden.

First flowers on my lawn were out in January, but due to cold weather they have never opened for weeks and the first were even withered before ever being open. First two photos show my lawn in this time - temperature not more than 5-6°C.

But then 10 days ago warm winds suddenly arrived in my garden and the flowers were exploding, making a good sight for the Hubi's and visitors of the adjacent park. Last photo shows my favourite place for relaxing  :D Unfortunately I have been away for some days in this time and missed the peak of flowering  :'(
