Hello Oleg
Yes to both of your mystery crocus.  I think you are correct in your identification.
I could agree.

This is probably a terribly elemntary question.
This has been growing in our garden for 40-50 years planted by my mother in law.
What is it?  Common Dutch yellow cultivar??

Hmmmmm..... well,Göte, it might have been an elementary question,if you had posted the picture; but without it, the question becomes altogether more esoteric!  ;D  :-X

Looks like the 'Dutch Yellow' that my mother has in her garden.  It's been there 50 years at least.

One would have to say so, considering all the other crocus pics we've seen with darker streaking. A sad shame in what is otherwise a superbly coloured crocus.

That is what I guessed. Thank you for the confirmation (It is a good cultivar by the way)

Janis I'm going to dig it up when it dies down and move it to a better spot with good soil. I was just wondering which CHRYSANTHUS/BIFLORUS form/named it was. Thomas any ideas?

Sorry for the late reply, Guff, I've bee noffline for two weeks.
But I can't help you with an ID. This crocus doesn't look like any cultivar I know.

Hi crocophiles,
I think this C. goulmyi is virused. None of the other bulbs of this species that I've flowered have shown this streaking. I thought I'd double check before it headed to the bin.
Thanks Anita
