05 - This is what I received from Holland this summer as clusii, salzmannii, pulchellus Albus, pulchellus, Zephyr......some years ago at least a few corms were correct, but meanwhile they are 100% speciosus ......

Thomas, you should have known it better, you persistent offender! Please forgive me my cynical comment. It is an annoying matter - simply fraud.
Of course I had a bad feeling, but I had hope, that the situation in Holland has changed and I will at least get a few good ones to fill the gaps in my garden.....and one bag with salzmannii was indeed true, and I'm still waiting for some flowers that I received from a dealer last week who is also present on the forum where I have hope that the plants are true.
yes, i have had a feeling for a while that they are not the true pulchellus....however, this batch always starts flowering 2-3 weeks after all my speciosus forms have finished, and carries on flowering to the end of november, sometimes even early december. The flower tubes and flower is also taller than usual speciosus....any ideas on what it could be? or if it is indeed speciosus, could it just be a very late flowering clone with "tall" flowers?Pontus
some late flowering autumn crocuses from megoulymyi, with its fabulous honey scent, pulchellus, banaticus snowdrift, medius (ligusticus), tournefortii and speciosus lithuanian autumn.because of very cold and rainy weather, I have had to bring most of these pots indoors for the flowers to open, or place them outside again during very sunny days, but it is still cold (about 5+c), so some, like the crocus medius, really have trouble opening fully, even indoors...Pontus
Your boryi looks bluish - this would point for tournefortii or a hybrid of both.
