I'll second that Thomas  :)
Where do you obtain these rare beauties Dirk?  I note that C autranii is raised from seed, are the others also?

Dirk,

Oh that veining in the second one (ssp cappadocius).  Glorious!!!!!!!  Love the form of the autranii as well.  Great to see these species we aren't likely to ever see anywhere else.  Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. 8)

Michael, I second Luc: beautiful flowers, but I have to criticize, that the names are wrong!
First one is speciosus Albus and the
second is speciosus, possibly a hybrid with pulchellus if the white anthers I see are correct!
Sorry to be such a wisenheimer - I just want to help  :-\

Last days sunshine brought some new flowers above soil level:

- mixed bed
- C. gilanicus, a pure white form
- C. karduchorum - the true form, not kotschyanus var leucopharynx from trade
- C. mathewii, with a soft blue throat
- again - the dark blue throated forms are still sleeping
- C. serotinus ssp salzmannii, received as nevadensis from a botanical garden in Germany - hope the other corms will be true!  :-\
- C. vallicola, somewhat dirty from a rainshower
- again from the inside
