Hans,
I feel always great pleasure when seeing your crocus meadow and web pages.

How long many years do you already collect and grow alpine plants and in particular crocus?

Don't you just love Crocus cambessedesii ? So tiny it is barely visible to the naked eye!

Some photos of my crocuses.
Crocus pulchellus 'Zephyr', one of my most favourite cultivars. I am adored by its special beauty. A large and tall growing cultivar and very floriferous.

A question for Thomas. As you grow the variety 'Michael Hoog', you would certainly tell me if it is larger and taller than 'Zephyr'. I am very curious as I get very hightly excited with large sizes.

crocus goulimyi leucanthus has very pale blue flush and somewhat longer inner petals than those of 'Mani White'.
crocus kotschyanus - a form smaller and tenderer than ordinary trade ones, but being quite floriferous.

Zhirair, pulchellus "Michael Hoog", or at least what I have as that,
is somewhat smaller than "Zephyr".
Having a look in my garden I have to worry about my plants: There
is still NO sign of life from my pulchellus MH  :-\

Zhirair - interesting that you find some of these crocus 'tender'.  At what temperature do they suffer?  What are your winter conditions?  I guess you have some prolonged severe cold.
Good to see them looking so nice!
