My thanks also to all crocus posters while I wait for the temperatures to rise enough to open our crocus flowers. There are plenty in bud but with no warmth to open them they just grow taller and fall over before withering. I do take some into the kitchen but there are too many to take them all in and I do not like to disturb the root tips that may be through the bottom of the pot into the sand plunge too much.

Ibrahim, I especially like your white olivieri and how good to see the habitat for pestalozzae.

Very nice crocus pics from everyone. 

I think too !

Bio - I have grown C vitellinus (stock form Holland) but I do not find it easy.  My corms split into many small ones which no longer flower :(  Where and how do you grow yours?

Mine is from this nursery http://www.bulbargence.com

I grow C. vitellinus in a pot placed in the earth, against a ancient wall faced to south. I don't remember precisely but I think they are at about 7-10 cm deepth.

 It is realy very satisfying for me. You are right for leaves of olivieri white. They are exactly like c candidus.
  Dirk I realy tryed to find one blue forms of pestalozze but I couldn't :( They were all white.

It's been a few days since we last saw the sun here either.
We now have 5 cm of snow since this early morning - it should be changing into rain soon though... Not likely that any crocus will open up today or tomorrow... :(

Great pictures Franz !
That Imperati is my favourite !
I think I detect some sunrays on the flowers though so your weather does seem to have improved !  ;)

Hello Dirk,
I grew Crocus imperati ssp. suaveolens from seeds which in Apennine Mountains was collected. I have different colour variants.
