A selection from the many in flower here now.

Crocus sieberi sieberi
Crocus sieberi sublimis - seedlings ex Tricolor.  Note the variation, one pale, one with a hint of the 'Edelsten' flash and one pale.
Crocus biflorus isauricus - at least that's what it came as.  Dirk showed  asimilar one recently.
Crocus versicolor - nice form
Crocus baytopiorum

Few more crocuses from sunny afternoon last week. First - Crocus artvinensis, quite similar to fibroannulatus, but with different corm tunics and pattern of striping
Then  four pictures of very nice C. beydaglarensis

The first crocus fibroannulatus
Then 2 pictures of new Crocus brickellii - easy separable from C. danfordiae by position of stigma which well overpass anthers (in danfordiae allways ends below tipos of anthers) and yellow throat is much larger.
The last two I labeled as C. adamioides. It is described from W corner of Turkey in Europe, but thoise plants are collected in Bulgaria, so could be different and when research of HKEP will be completed, they could change name.

The outside seem will start clearing in clouds, so last entry this morning, may be later will be some pictures added.
At first typical C. taseliensis, according locality and description must be true, but on second very unusual plant got under this name from Erich Pasche. What is it?
Then semi-double individual in Crocus chrysanthus s.l. stock from near vil. Mihallicik, before Kartal gec. in Turkey. In this stock such flowers appear every year between normal flowers.
And on last two pictures Crocus yataganensis
