 And here is my C. speciosus subsp. speciosus from Lake Abant.
 The senond one, I believe it is subsp. ilgazensis. But I am not very sure because it is not from known location Ilgaz Mt. It is from the mountains of N.E. TR. Do anybody has any informations about any records from that area for this ilgazensis!

Beautiful plants Ibrahim and Michael!
Crocus mathewii is the first crocus in flower in the garden, a bit later than in the Segovia area! ;)

Lovely, Hans - are those the corms I sent you last year or some others?

The Iris pamphylica you sent me seem to have done well in their first year and made bigger bulbs, one even looks FS...

  Nathalia, I am not sure for this feature. I have not enough experience on this crocus because this is my first flower from a single corm and I don't have any observation from wild. But at the moment it looks like you perceived.

I just returned from one week long holydays in Peloponnese in Greece. Not so many crocuses were seen, it was something too early for some species, but I saw some others, not seen three years ago. But now I will show some pictures from my collection made today.
At first Crocus aleppicus (3 pictures)
then another trio of Crocus hyemalis
and as last - best form of Crocus mathewii - 'Brian Mathew' - note deep purple tube and large very dark throat.
