Gerd, I like C. nudiflorus. He has a wonderful redpurple colour in contrast to the orange stylus.
Einen schwedischen Crocus speciosus kenne ich allerdings bisher nicht ;D.
Hagen,
Thanks for compliments!
The speciosus of Swedish origin was donated by a generous Swedish forum member who told that this crocus lives since 7 decades in his country - well adapted to northern conditions. So I dare to call him Swedish - although of course this isn't the ancient origin.  ;)

Hallo Gerd,
I just saw your post. I am glad it looks so well. Just a question: In my place it is much earlier than the commercial stock. Is it earlier also in your place?

Göte,
It seems your crocus is an early form. I can't compare it with a commercial stock but Erich Pasche, who lives only 25 km from here told me that his C. speciosus from different provenances started to flower just now.

Meine sind bald vorbei. Weniger als die Hälfte ist noch blühend. Es ist gut zu wissen daß es eine permanente eigenschaft ist und nicht nur mein Klima.

Oops sorry I did not notice I was writing in German. I found it good that the earliness was in the genes and not because of my location.

The earliest of my speciosus forms started blooming from last days of July or in first week of August. Unfortunately all stock was destroyed by rodents.
