A beautiful crocus Mark. I have chrysanthus in flower in the greenhouse but nothing outside.

Here is a Christmas crocus.
Crocus hyemalis from Israel.  The exterior markings are not always this striking.

chrysanthus 'Sunspot' is open enough for artifical heat to open it but the weather outside will not give a great photo.

Hi Mark,
a nice cultivar with a black style. Is it sterile or fertile clone?
