Here is some more of the crocus-fest!

Crocus biflorus ssp tauri - came as seed with an HKEP col number.  Very different to the bicoloured and vigorous form that many of us grow.
Crocus biflorus ssp pulchricolor - 2 shots different flowers in each.  These came as seed labelled biflorus x  chrysanthus Marcus Harvey collections but they look like ssp pulchricolor so far.
Crocus biflorus ssp ? - Came as seed labelled ssp nubigena which it is not.  Bumble bee damaged flower was a delicate bicolored beauty with very bright orange/yellow throat.
Crocus biflorus ssp ? - 2 shots - different source.
Crocus biflorus ssp pulchricolor white seedling.  Could be a hybrid with something else in biflorus group!

Great photos everybody.
Today we had 5°C outside, but still most parts of the garden are frozen.
First shots are emerging on korolkowii, michelsonii, reticulatus ssp hittiticus
and lots of snowdrops. Hope to have some more days above freezing point
to start this years crocus season soon!!!

A teaser - can you name the parentage of this Crocus.  Sadly not one of mine  :(

They look like some of my cvijicii x veluchensis seedlings, as Tony says.

I usually do Mark but if images are posted of one plant per post then it does not matter, so that could be an easier way.  Most important is to name the plant in the text of the message to help with searches and I think everyone has got that right  :)

Tony, That is a  very nice crocus show! The each subsp. of biflorus can have very different forms.
I have walked whole day through in C. biflorus adamii but I have seen only one striped and it was also much darker than others. If I didn't know this, It could be very hard to tell what it is. And a few more from wild.

Crocus biflorus .... forms

Crocus olivieri subsp. olivieri

For Maggi these are All Gold (but not Terrys I'm afraid :D)

Crocus cvijicii - this form really does have the darkish tips to the petals.
Crocus flavus ssp flavus
Crocus flavus ssp dissectus - has a more divided style
Crocus gargaricus ssp gargaricus - almost leafless at flowering
