Yesterday night greeted us with snowfall and in morning our nursery was painted white, but in greenhouse continued blooming. Richard Bloom from UK continued picturing of crocuses for AGS and RHS magazines. I maid few shots, too. On the first - two opposite colour forms of Crocus abantensis - very pale blue and very dark purple. Then Crocus scepusinensis leucostigma - pushing stigmas out of still closed flower bud, and the last is another white-stigma plant from Greece - regarded as form of C. veluchensis, but could be C. tomoricus if its area extends out of Albania into Greece.

Still few crocuses are blooming, although cvijicii only starts and pelistericus, jablanicensis just showed noses out of pots.
Still blooms hybrid ELDORADO raised by Augis Dambrauskas,
Crocus carpetanus
Crocus gembosii/concinnus hybrid selected by Vaclav Jošt (Czech Republic)
And spring blooming form of Crocus laevigatus from Cyclades.
Cultivar EGO - selected by Leonid Bondarenko from hybrids between C. reticulatus from Bessarabia and C. angustifolius from Crimea (Ukrainian teritory at present occupied by Russia) named by me as Crocus x leonidii.

Seems that those could be some of the last crocuses of this season
Crocus minimus Bavella - minimus (true, unhibridized always is the very last to flower)
and usually very late C. pelistericus.
Still some scardicus and x gotoburgensis are only coming out.
