That would explain the distortion on the flower, Janis.... but look at the streaky foliage......
I didn't enlarge picture. Yes, leaves are very suspicious, I would destroy this plant. Fortunally it isn't from me...Janis
I have never seen a crocus with quite this intensely deep royal purple colour before. The nearest colour is that of Romulea requienii or perhaps Crocus pelistericus.It is a Crocus biflorus from seed collected near Zanjan in Iran - only one corm
I apologise for the less than perfect photos but the light level was not good and I definitely did not want to use flash.I have never seen a crocus with quite this intensely deep royal purple colour before.

Went to Cyprus in order to see two species in bloom. [C. hartmannianus and Hyacinthella millingenii]I had to go twice to the site as first day was too dark.C. hartmannianus is extremely rare!!! in the wild, there are only few hundred plants growing on the site.[Please do not ask for the exact location, it is a secret i will take with me when i'll join the bulbs from the roots side..]
