It's already May, but crocus flowering is still going on here in the north. These two were planted last year and flower for the first time now. :)

Crocus korolkowii 09

Nice to see how you make our Crocus season even longer Magnar !!
-
Magnar,
nice to see spring crocus still in flower.
Thanks for showing.
-
While everyones hervesting the seeds, I want to show some pictures.
First from Abant this was my second visit. Before I have visited early april and now late april. Crocuses were all over in the lower part but in more higher part, edge of snow there were still lots of things to see.
I hope you'll enjoy!
C. abantensis.
-
The second crocus is olivieri supsp. olivieri. The first time everywhere were covbered with C. ancyrensis now same place is covered with C. olivieri supsp. olivieri
And which I have seen near the lake C. olivieri were look like flavus, strange but they were not have 6 divided style.
The leaves and corms were like olivieri. You can see on second picture.

Thank you Ibrahim for bringing us back to early spring flowers.
I like Crocus abantensis - and your son is very nice too!

Gerd, I am just enjoying to share with persons who love these small beauties.
Here are more fresh pics, taken this weekend from Uludağ. And I am sure that we can see crocus in flower here even next month because there were still lots of snow after 1900 m.
C. biflorus subsp. pulcricolor.
-
Lovely pictures Ibrahim. It's a joy to see the plants in their natural home.
-
Glorious pics, Ibrahim. I just love the abantensis. And 087 of the pulchricolor is such a beautiful picture!! Thanks for taking the time to prepare and post them for us (and take them in the first place! ;)).

Hello Ibrahim,
wunderful pictures from the wild and showing the variability of genus crocus.
A real highlight 8) :o 8).
Many thanks.
-
Wow! A real treat, Ibrahim, thank you! Is this a late year for the snow to remain?
I think your fine son is more impressed with the snow than the flowers! Good play time for a little chap!
-
Many thanks Ibrahim. Crocus (& other plants) always look so much more attractive in the wild.
-
Ibrahim,
Enjoyed your photos immensely because I visited both places. Thank you.
-
Ibrahim, these are fantastic photos, what a beauty :o :o
Thanks for showing.
-
Some beautiful excursions you had Ibrahim ! 8)
Stunning pictures - great Crocus ! :o :o
Thanks for showing us !!
(I'm sure your son had a great day as well !)
-
To paraphrase Gerd, I like your son - and Crocus abantensis is very nice too. :D Actually this is one of my most favourite crocuses for its clear blue colour and it does well for me. All these pictures are lovely Ibrahim. Thankyou for posting them.
-
I thak you very much for all your nice compliments.
Maggi, This year there is snow more than the other years but for Uludağ that is very common to see snow this time. I couldn't reach more than 1900 m. because of snow. Uludağ is 2400 m. alt! A person which we were speaking said me that there is stil a line open for ski!
Here are a few frame from top where I could reached.
-
Definitely my first aim was to see C. gargaricus. I remarked that nearly all of what I have seen they have leaves in the same time. Just only some of them which are very near snow or in the water they dont have leaves or just started.
C. gargaricus subsp. herbertii
-
I had chance to see some hybrids too.
And this chrysanthus made me suprise with few very strong mass!
C. biflorus supsp. pulchricolor x chrysanthus
C. chrysanthus
-
These are very pretty, especially the hybrids with their subtle shading of colours. It seems there's a crocus in bloom just about every day of the year, somewhere in the world. :)

Ibrahim
glad you made it last weekend and wonderful pictures. I am surprised at the amount of snow.I have been there several times at this date and there has been no skiing and lots of flowers all around the resort.
-
this winter was a bit colder than pervious 3-4 winters. and there was a good amount of snow.
-
Tony, Thank you very much for helpful ideas. After the hotels to go up by car from left side, the way was closed by snow. But still I have seen lots of flowers and enjoy more than I was planning.
