Crocus kotschyanus HKEP 9317 - the best to me of all the kotsch. HKEP selections. Large flower and very good contrast

No! speciosus albus has pointed flower segments and yellow anthers.
More resembles some hybrid with pulchellus.

In my lists, I bought Crocus pulchellus 'Zephyr' last year.
Is it perhaps that one?
