A pretty variation - I have a real soft spot for C. pelistericus, the richness of colour is so velvety. Much time can pass just gazing at it in flower!

I now have an image in my head of you laying on the ground, with one foot in the air, gazing at a Crocus flower...we need a smiley for this

Striking colours - so deep with the dusky outers. Very smart combination.

Ruben, you are having a superb crocus season this year, only the beginning of February and so many flowers out in the open. That Crocus x paulinae is fantastic

Here not many flowering outside, but inside a few have started.

Crocus caricus showing a second flower, the first one flopped as the light level was so poor.
Crocus dalmaticus from seeds ex Pilous.

Hi Fred.
Your unknown Crocus could be 'Romance' and 'Ard Schenk', the last one maybe 'Aubade' but it's hard to say from your photos, you should try to photograph them when they are open in the sun.
You could also try to compare them with my photos here:

From your first batch Crocus corsicus is surely not true - looks like C. biflorus 'Parkinsonii' to me.
