Many thanks for taking the time and the trouble to post these Luit, lovely pictures.

Luit;
Yesterday I could make some more pictures in the Collection.

 
Crocus tommasinianus Whitewell Purple (from 1933)


Luit, thanks for the great pictures.
This "whitewell purple" form is different to the one general offered with large flowers and a dark stem. See my picture. On the opposite I purchased also "whitewell purple" which looked like the one in the collection.
Which one is the true species? Or are there maybe two "competitive" forms?

Thomas and all other crocus specimen - your turn please!

Armin, you'll have to wait till Thomas wakes up in the morning.
We started our (private) discussions on Crocus last year with this problem through Maggi.
Alas I lost most of our correspondence by a P.C. crash last summer, but Thomas is the expert on this.
And this is why I made these pictures special for Thomas!

Yesterday I could make some more pictures in the Collection.
First some special made for Thomas,   (sorry NOT ONLY for him)

Crocus chrysanthus Dorothy J.A. '93           (during the cold period)   

The next two are almost the same but when okay there is some difference
Whitewell Purple is a bit darker overall.
 
Crocus tommasinianus Whitewell Purple (from 1933)

Morning Luit! Thanks for the Dorothy photos - they look exactly like mine now! Also Goldilocks looks OK!
Any more corms wanted by Mr.X next weekend?

But Armin is right about tommasinianus Whitewell Purple. The one you show is Ruby Giant (white stem)
while Armins is the true WP (dark stem). This is the final result of the discussion with Maggi last year!

Luit,
I just want to say thank you for these pictures.
there are so many mis-named and unnamed bulbs out there so your pictures are very helpful.
I have a nice white chrysanthus? that came as speicosus alba
I also have speciosus alba that came with exactly the same label.
A long time ago I bought a Lily bulb.
The name on the packet did not match the picture and when it emerged it was a third cultivar.
Have a nice spring
