I should have known that, especially as a crocus in a pot nearby is called 'Dark Eyes' and I have 'Carpathian Wonder' just coming out in a trough. Thanks.

Tony D - I owe you a big thank-you!  A couple of years ago you sent me a few small offsets from Carpathian Wonder.  Today I found a flower ... damaged by a roving bumblebee but a flower!  Thanks mate!!

Delighted it is still with you. I'd forgotten I'd planted mine in a trough until I saw two flower buds today.

It can be anything yellow, too little information seen - important to know - corm tunic, stigma at least!

A very tiny Crocus (from the France Alps?). What is its name?

That looks like Crocus versicolor.  I think Hubi has seen it in the French alps, you might ask him to confirm.

Hans,
I agree with Tony. Lovely C. versicolor. One of my favourites but this year not flowering in my meadow. :(
Best wishes
Armin

What is the difference between the two veluchensis white forms?
1. emerges purest white
2. emerges pale grey/blue and changes to white in a few days but never pristine white

Looks like you've answered the question Mark ;)

I'm multiplying veluchensis by seed. There comes up deep purple (very little variation) and white forms - purest white and which start as very pale lilac, almost white and ends as white indistuingishable from other whites. See attached pictures. You can see seedlings marked with labels - for pure white, almost white and sometimes for some purple.
