I have another unknown that was sold in a garden for C. 'King of the Striped'
In your opinion, what is that?

Fred, 'King of the Striped' is a C. vernus cultivar. Your photo clearly shows a C. chrysanthus cultivar,
looks like 'Fuscotinctus' to me. A beautiful plant, well increasing, but neither does it set seed nor pollen... :-(

Normal variation in abantensis. See offer of Liga (rarebulbs.lv), I think she offered this year 3 forms of abantensis - traditional blue, dark lilac and Azcabans Escapee
