  Hi Maggi! Thanks for line.
 
  Lesley, for your glamorous C. biflorus alexandrii I also agree with Thomas. C. biflorus pulchricolor has yellow throat and 4 or 5 short thiny leaves which yours hasn't. But shot is wonderful as if there is a bulb inside.
  Tyerman, I think the first olivieri is C. olivieri balansae and second is C. olivieri olivieri.

Ibrahim,

You're spot on.  I mixed up the two pics.  I've shifted them around and made a note as to the change.  Thanks for spotting the mistake.  Also thanks for confirming that they are apparently the right species, which is always nice to know.  ;D

Thanks again!! (You too Maggi for making the link)

I have two Crocus above ground today. Not just one off in a pot but them all. It's very strange. They are C. cancellatus, petal tips and anthers showing, and C. robertianus. Both flowered in early October last year.

It could be a new species named in honour of Ian & Maggi's local newspaper the Aberdeen Evening Express
