Crocus imperati is always bloom in mid January outodoor, here in Southern Italy

Angelo,
C. imperati is one of my favourites. Does it set seed regularly with you?

In my meadow it flowers always as one of the first and suffers the bad weather.
The buds are deep frozen at currently -13°C , brrrr, damn cold.

Dave, it's so gorgeous :o A flower just beneath the double one is also double, isn't it? It looks the flowers from this particular shoot are all double. I thought such multi petaled flowers tend to come out from well fatted large corms, but this case is... ???

A few Crocus in flower here, including two pots of C. veluchensis that come courtesy of generous forumists, and a C. cvijicii ex Janis.
