A home seedling of Crocus thomasii.  Very pale, perhaps a hybrid with hadriaticus?

Tony,
very nice croci.
Could your mouthwatering C. thomasii be perhaps a hybrid with C. oreocreticus, too?

Thanks Armin.  It is possible, I suppose.  When we grow closely related species side by side, the seedlings often show unusual variation, suggesting hybrid possibilities.

A couple of Crocus banaticus in the garden.

A potful of a 'special' Crocus boryi, bought from Peter Moore for £2.  An excellent potful  :) ;D :)

Arthur - this looks interesting & very nice, it would be good to see it open. Why/how does Peter identify it as C. boryi ?

Kris, the potful of white C. goulimyi is marvelous. 8) Congratulation. :)

Arthur, like the bicolor banaticus and striped C. boryi. 8)

Tony, excellent crocus species and forms. 8)

In my garden a nice C. longiflorus and C. pulchellus Zephyr pleased me until this evening a squally wind gyrated dust, dirt and leaves all around followed by a heavy rain shower. The good thing - the drought is over.

Michael,
your last Crocus is not a niveus, it is hadriaticus.
