Nice pictures, Kris.

Can't wait, Dirk!

Thank you Cyril, it does look like Snow Crystal. I wonder whether I still have the label to check.

This 'commercial' type makes a very nice show in a pot.

It seems to me that, whatever the packets say, most of the white 'commercial' type Crocus turn out to be C. 'Ard Schenk'. (This might be similar to Ian's theory that if you grow Frits in pots they all become F. acmopetala?)

That's not to disparage what is a very attractive plant. It also grows very well outside here on the Western Isles, so it's certainly got something to recommend it!

The sun has finally opened the flowers on Crocus heuffelianus 'Carpathian Wonder'.

I know it's not February any more but related to this thread, a friend has just sent me pictures of his Crocus 'Ladykiller', asking my opinion...and guess what...they're 'Ard Schenk'!
