I don't think anyone has reported seed fronm 'SunSpot' in the forum... though R ob Potterton may know better.  ;)

In this thread, though-  http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2771.msg64454#msg64454 - Janis said " Crocus chrysanthus Sunspot – unsurpassed, possibly only black anthered can to compare. I’m trying to cross both to receive black stigma and black anthers in same flower"  So perhaps he has had seed

Before we get back to the Crocus may I offer all a chance to vent their prejudices and say that all 18  are a family and that they are all GINGER !!!!!!
I can smell them from here - the nice crocus that is. Welcome to the forum Ron.

Frankie,
I find it quite interesting und unusual that cultivar 'Goldilocks' opened its flowers or kept its flowers open in spite of snow and low temperatures.

First post, so please be gentle with me!
C. olivieri istanbulensis.
About three weeks earlier than last year.
From where are your istanbulensis? If from PCh or his supplier - it is type subsp. olivieri :'(  Didn't see any true from European/USA sources :'( :'( :'(
By myself got true only last autumn from Turkish friend. Did you check covering sheets?

C. chrysanthus 'Sunspot'.
Just going over but a real class act in my opinion. Easy and rewarding. Well done Pottertons!
Following Janis and bringing in to a sunny windowsill in order to open flowers and try to pollinate. Never had seed from this plant. Has anyone?
Yes, I have it's seedlings (still not flowered). By Bob Potterton around 50% can be with black stigma.

Hi Janis,
I got my istanbulensis from a chap here in Yorkshire who is mad keen on crocus. ( he is not a member of this or any other society and has no intention of becoming one either ). Some people just get on with it. It certainly keys out to be istanbulensis per your recent publication.
Thanks for the update on the seed production of 'Sunspot'. You've renewed my hope so I'll persevere.
I agree, lovely minimus.
