(Actually, I love every one I know. Just as well I don't know the cricketers and rugby players!)
Probably isn't a decent crocus grower amongst them!

A fantastic Crocus biflorus form.  I don't know what to call it.  All  I know is it comes from the same area as Crocus wattiorum.   Tony W or Janis may have suggestions?

A selection of Crocus chrysanthus forms.  Subtle variation in size, shape and shade.

I am sure I will be shot down but that area is within,although on the edge of,the distribution of C. biflorus issauricus. As you know I disagree completely with the splitters but I am sure it will have been given a new name. Whatever it is called it is a beauty.

They'll have to shoot us both then!

Tony G,
I also agree with Tony W. That area is edge of,the distribution of C. biflorus isauricus. It looks like last picture of Janis to me. West of this distribution area C. biflorus subsp. atrospermus' distribution is starting!
And nort of that area (region Denizli) C. biflorus subsp. leucostylosus is spread.
And I don't know anything about these new subsp. specieses of biflorus!!!
If anybody has any informations?
I would say thanks in advence....

I had never heard of this new sub species so I googled it and it is another K&P one. I wonder how many specimens and over what area they collected to determine it.

Every day is a learning day in this forum ;)
Very impressive to see all these crocus species :P  8)
Thank you.

I'm still thoughtful over my question in the January thread of taxonomic origin of "C. isauvicus "Spring Beauty"" (a form of C. minimus???).
Unfortunately nobody was able yet to give an answer on this illusive name.
It is obvious a new cultivar from Dutch origin but not registered in KAVB.

Under this link there is a picture of it (not a good one compared the one on the label of the package I purchased in a German garden center last autuum)
http://www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com/spring/productview/?sku=13-0167

I also remember that Dix Export had it as a new introduction on the list but I can't access/find it anymore.

Maybe someone can help me on the identification.

A crocus is so pretty when you see it wide open like that. Are they all doing okay, Guff?

Hi Maggie. I had them in pots Dec 2007 until they flowered and died down. They were planted in my dog's grave this past summer.

Side note, I'm going to redo my dog's grave this summer. I have around 230ish cyclamen coum seedlings to plant. Going to make the bed 10x10 or 12x12. I figured 6-8in apart for the coum?, then replant the crocus in and around.

Guff your 'Spring Beauty' looks like C. minimus.

Tony, that is a stunning photo of your C. biflorus.

One of my lectures at Harveys included many Crocus
