Beautiful!  I am so envious.  I had 'Hubert Edelsten' for many years but lost it last winter.  It is one of my favourite crocuses.

Looks like one of Janis "Carpathian Wonder"-Crocusses with complementary coloration! Funny!

Don't think that it is virus. It is non-permanent genetic fault which happensd during organogenezis of flower parts and so will not be inherited and other flowers from same corm and next year flowers must look normally.

Hope it's just the light levels but that flower looks a bit streaky to me

David S did not notice any potential virus.

Hmm - David is much more polite than I am ..... and hopefully Janis is right  here also.  I am a bit paranoid about virus having suffered from the problems of monoculture here
