The sunshine also opened the Crocus minimus - previously unknown label.

Can anyone suggest why Crocus minimus seems to be flowering much earlier this year.

Beautiful C. cvjicii Art - paticularly attractive for me is the somewhat darker orange petaltips !  Is that a normal feature for this species ??

Some Crocus from today
Is this Crocus chrysanthus '?' bought as C. sieberi at Wisley?

Mark, this looks like chrysanthus 'Cream Beauty'

It must be warmer in your garden  :o or maybe you watered early and they got a good start.  Mine are weeks off flowering. 
 :-\ Not sure about one or two of the flowers - or maybe I'm getting paranoid about streaky plants :-\

Lovely stuff Arthur, is that a trick of the light on the petal edges of your Crocus cvijicii?

A very nice C. abantensis Fred, and a cracking picture of it too.

Your Crocus abantensis is outstanding - from seed?   This is not widely grown, and I am trying to collect from several sources.

Another mild day today with sunny spells and another couple of Crocuses open enough to take pictures. Crocus sieberi and Crocus malyi.

Last year's cvijicii is doing very well. A lovely colour combination
chrsyanthus 'Cream Beauty'
Crocus chrysanthus fuscotinctus
angustifolius minor - not angustifolius. I was relying on memory because I forgot to take a shot of the label
