A couple of Crocus today
C. hartmannianus and C. fleisheri

Great C. hartmannianus Oron ! Here it is flowering to but due the lack of good light it looks not so good as yours . (first 3 images ) 
 Some other Crocus seems to react better on this lack of light.
Crocus fleisheri (Chios form) e.g.   (image 4 )

Stunning Oron!!!
C. hartmannianus is particularly superb. It's a shame it's so rare and unobtainable.

Maybe we can swap next summer Steve  ;)

Nice hartmannianus everybody!
I also like the fibroannulatus Dirk. Do you have a picture of the style? Is it also striped?

More sunshine today at the Picton Garden opened up some more flowers, much to our delight.
C. Cyprius - lost some of the blue in the photo, is a bit darker.

Crocus biflorus ssp. alexandrii - one of my favorites

The first crocusses in the damp shadow starts flowering. One is very EARLY. I got is this summer and its flowering here for the first time. Neighbours of it like veluchiensis, abantenis(almost in flower) and heuffelianus are just coming up.
Can somebody gave me a possible reason of the early flowering time?
But i'm so happy to see it cause its such a beauty! Crocus cvijicii x velechiensis 'Rainbow Gold'

Crocus herbertii
