Jim.
A nice selection of crocus you have there.  I call my tommie 'Claret & Cream' to distinguish it from the pure Claret coloured forms.  The name has no true validity.
Take another look at your C kosaninii.  It does not look like the ones I grow.   Maybe it's just a trick of the light, as can happen with photos, but it looks a bit like C etruscus or C dalmaticus to me.

Well, that's one way to describe it.

Back from holiday and nice sunshine early in the morning but later when I decided to take some pictures the sun disappeared of course.
The commonest and earliest Crocus in the garden is C tomasinianus but a lot of others are due to open their flowers when we get a little more sunshine in the afternoon like this C. baytopiorum.

They may only be 'tommies' but in a clump I think they can outshine lots of their more expensive relatives

I think Shockwave - bought from Susan Band - is a wonderful plant

Seeing your potfuls of 'Shockwave' Art, I would very much agree with you. :o

Dirk, I'm crossing veluchensis and cvijicii this year, inspired to make the cross by your 'Rainbow Gold'. I must remember this year to order it from you, to keep me happy until my own seedlings flower  :)
