And my eastern cancellatus with big white flowers which is not common for subsp. damascenus.
C. cancellatus subsp. damascenus Diyarbakır East Tr.
C. nerimaniae from SW. Tr.

The C. nerimaniae is stunning, Ibrahim !      Wonderful blue !

Ibrahim,

I have seen some styles being longer than anthers.  I do not know whether this feature may depend on the age of the flower.  As the flower ages, can the style keep elongating?
Does anyone know?

Following are 5 more images of Crocus macedonicus from other locations in Central Greece, about 60-100 Km away.

Excellent, Oron!
It seems that I will have no more new flowers this autumn.
Today we had sun but temperature didn't rise even in greenhouse and flowers remained closed.

Thanks every one

A transitional period at the crocusses. Still to early for the early winter flowering types (but allready a lot of noses) and the autumn flowering crocusses or over here in Belgium.
Except for a cross between oreocreticus x hadriaticus. This one is flowering allready more than one month. 14 degrees today here and you can smell this crocus from afar.

My nose is just imagining that pleasure, Ruben 

The high  temperatures being experienced in some places are quite a surprise. I quess the  N. Americans are suffering instead with all that snow.    Strange times we live in.
