Looks like a mathewii 'Dream Dancer', a good colored one that is.

Lucky you Roland. I have 'Dream Dancer' too, but not so deep and nicely colored :-\. On the other hand mine is a very good increaser. Started with two bulbs two years ago in the garden, but now have thirteen of them about to flower.

Mine has just one offset in the moment
I got it very late in-between some flowering mathewii dry bulbs last year
I will carefully separate it from the other ones

Kris, i see a bit yellow inside and also outside from the flower.
Crocus mathewii and pallasii have never yellow. Also the leaves looks like more
in direction hadriaticus.

Furthermore the anthers seem to be whitish - I have seen this anther-colour in hadriaticus hybrids in my garden.

No, mathewii can be with white and with lighter or darker backrounfd. It is perfect. I'm not in Latvia now, so I can't show you variation, but I like those lilac forms.

I had a look at the records
I got these in December as leftover
with dried-in bulbs
they came originally from Germany
sold to Dix export
