Moving on 15 km in Kastania where Crocus atticus grows in profusion

At 950 m

096: Colour variation.  May be due to the age of flower?
112: another form
121: 4 anthers and 8 segments.  3 for 6 or 4 for 8?
129: another form - more uniform in colour
138: Upper part of the village

Moving up the hill at 1050 m

216: masses of Crocus atticus facing NE
234: more atticus
266, 270 and 280: Occuring along with Crocus chrysanthous

Did not have the time on my way back to visit locations of Crocus veluchensis (low altitudes - about 800-1000 m)

Tony I have seen some beautiful albinos in Katara Pass.

This past Sunday I was in mount Ossa.  I wewnt up to 1500 m.  Lots of snow above this elevation - snowbound. 

Here is Crocus veluchensis from about 1000 m.
