Crocus dispathaceus -A nice form from Icel, Turkey that looks its best when fully de-flexed.
The markings on the tepals are symmetrical and are not due to virus.

Very beautiful! But certainly none to try in my garden, as I did with Crocus kotschyanus. It disappeared in the border for 5 years, but popped up now on the verge of the bordering meadow.



Another Crocus kotschyanus which appeared utterly unexpected. Neither planted I some in the neighbourhood, nor this special type at all, which I grow only in the green house.

  Ian Young has  been writing  quite  a   bit  about  his  "wandering" crocus in recent Bulb Logs !  What with  stolons and  seed, some  can appear  anywhere!   :D

Thank You, Maggi, You´re right - I think they came up from seed. Growing crocus in my garden is quite an adventure due to the heavy soil and legions of rodents, so every survivor is welcome! Crocus tommasinianus established himself successfully and produced some nice offspring, but other species struggle hard or succombed.

 Looks  like the  plant  which goes  around  variously  as  C. pulchellus albus  or  C. speciosus albus - but there  is  some  talk of  it  being  an old  hybrid.   :-X :-\

The petals do look sort of stripy at the edges, or is it just shadows that create the effect?

I fear that your striped banaticus may unfortunately be virus-infected. Keep them well away from other stock.

I hope for a mutation. They are seed raised. The "old" Banaticus are okay. But maybe you are right. I will separate them.
