 And your Mum was quite right Tony.... though I must admit I am built more for comfort than speed  :P Amazing how speedy I can be in pursuit of new flower pictures, though. :D

I think I've said it before but here goes again - After white snowdrops I adore yellow and orange Crocus.

Does anyone have a photo of Crocus vernus clone B?

Seeing all these early bulbs must be starting to make you feel somewhat frustrated Dirk...
But never mind... your time will come !  ;)

Never heard of it Mark - give us some clues.  I have a few different clones but there are not enough letters in our alphabet for the variation I've seen in the wild plants.

and I forgot to mention I have my first seedling Crocus in the garden. I tried taking photos but there wasnt enough light. It looks like vernus heuffelianus. It has greyish outers with purple tips. The only Crocus in the bed are mostly tommies and a few sieberi

Crocus kossaninii 'April View' is flowering now which goes to show that Galanthus and Crocus named for a flowering time doesnt work

That looks like it. Is it very dark to the eye?

Mark,Crocus vernus subsp.albiflorus B should be pure white with dark purple flower tube,obviously a mistake by the supplier,most unusual for him.
