I'm sorry to hear you are unwell, Janis   :-*  .... but  it is lucky for us that this gives you time to send us your pictures  :)

Crocus outside here are taking battering from the weather.... some brave strong individuals manage to open in a blink of sun. Brave little flowers!

Thank you Maggi! I even forgot that I have crocuses outside, too. Must to check the beds after recovering.

Some more crocuses
Several forms of crocus cancellatus - those from Kubbe gec should be damascenus
Crocus gilanicus and its hybrid with autranii - only slightly lighter than pure autranii
The earliest of Crocus boryi comes from Erich Pasche
and as last in this entry - laevigatus from S of Tripoli

Congratulations to all for the marvelous croci flowers!

My first autuum crocus in the garden is C. kotschyanus ssp. kotschyanus HKEP 9027 from Erich Pasche.
Compared to the ordinary form it has a larger flower with pinkish teint.
Best wishes
Armin

In this entry Crocus speciosus from various places and again hybrid between ilgazensis and pulchellu - note anthers, bright throat and bright color. I think it is very good.
You again can compare that Turkish speciosus has wider petals than Crimean samples.

Flowering started Crocus speciosus cv. 'Artabir' - one of very few still grown by me
Still blooms Crocus autranii
Started flowering of Crocus grown under name Crocus kotschyanus hakkariensis SASA (Seisums, Stevens, Archibald) - but its throat is nude.

Janis what a wonderful, colorful crocus world you show us.

Here are three different seedlings of C mathewii.
And I learned, seedling is not only a seedling. There are big differences.
