Crocus biflorus ssp. biflorus flowering now, it's native here together with C. thomasii (autumn flowering). Soon will follow C. imperatii but this native on the opposite side of Italy where I live.

Three more in flower now. 

Crocus 'biforus'  from an ANCR collection in 2011, appears to be Crocus chrysanthus.

Crocus sieberi ssp sieberi

Crocus biflorus ssp uncertain.  The label says ssp isauricus.  I am not convinved, maybe it is ssp nubigena ... the next-door label. :-\

Bliss- a nearly dry day here today, first for weeks and my first trip to the greenhouse for over a week.

These needed a spell on the kitchen window sill to open properly:-

Crocus herbertii, mine also from Dirk in 2008
C. angustifolius 'Bronze Form

One more:-

Crocus sieberi 'Firefly'. The original bulbs from Augie in 2010 when they flowered well but broke down to bulbils last year and just beginning to get their act back together again.

How pleasant to see that here in the world of the Croconut it is still January and that all these flowers are giving pleasure.  ;)

My Crocus korolkovii have produced 9 flowers from 5 corms. Is this unusual? I bought 10 tiny corms in 2007 but lost 6 and the remaining 4 produced 2 flowers last year. so whatever I have done or not done since has obviously suited them. I built a bulb frame in the spring of 2011 which may have made the difference.
Frits and erythronium are showing here several weeks earlier than in the past.
