Yeah, but those last few were all guesses. I honestly couldn't start to name half of those in the vase 'cos you just can't see them or their marks clearly enough. And I'm not 100% sure of some of my real attempts - that huge thing in the middle, for example; I don't think it is Washfield Colesbourne (too big I think) but have no idea what it actually is (leaves would help a lot). I for one give up, Maggie. As Mark says, can you put us out of our miserable, grovelling misery and tell us then we can all go "oh of course, well now it's obvious" (or not as the case may be).

Maggi,
I've been keeping quiet - as I haven't a clue.

Maggi glad you spotted that there was little stomach for the quiz except Martin and are trying to bring them back into line. I could guess at a few but to get a proper assessment I could not hope to name these without a magnifying glass, a ruler and a book. They all look nice though and the thing in the middle is definitely a vase

Yes Mark, Lady B is on the left towards the top, behind a load of others. I didn't really see Sophie North - that was just a wild guess at some that
might
be there that I couldn't see!

Okay, I'll have one last look and recount then post my final, final best of what I do actually think I see. Give me a minute, Maggi.

Sorry Guys and Gals but I can only see two different ones .... single and double. There is not even a yellow one
.
Its just Maggi and Luit having a joke with us all .... come on Maggi, come clean now
BTW - there are only 2 types of crocus .... easy ones for the garden which everyone can grow and tricky ones which specialists kill slowly

Okay, my final list, going clockwise around the vase from bottom: ordinary double nivalis, Bertram Anderson, Magnet, Desdemona, Lady Beatrix Stanley, Viridapice, bloody big elwesii, John Gray, Galatea and S. Arnott. That's all I can see. Final answer.

I thought that might be Ketton too, but the mark over the sinus looks too thick to me. There's another one where I thought I saw a hint of Ketton but I can't be arsed to go and look at the picture again. It's driving me nuts! Maggi?
You're loving this aren't you.
