Simon I live just this side of Bulgarian frontier. I am sure that is C. olivieri subsp. olivieri and it is very common here. C. flavus subsp. flavus is more rare for that location.

AlexI never repot mine,I have just put the ball of compost into a bigger pot without disturbing the roots.Janis I find your comments on Crocus veluchensis roots very interesting because I always dry mine off. Not any more, I will try your method but can you tell me does the same apply to Crocus sieberi and do you treat them the same?

Any help with this Crocus found in SE Bulgaria about 5m above sealevel in a sandy soil. The style is six branched and the anthers are smaller than 'typical' Crocus flavus we have here. The floral tube is a bronzy brown and there is a faint greenish black streaking leading from this to the petals. Flora Bulgarica lists only Crocus flavus for this area. Sorry no side view available the pics were taken on site and the side shot didn't work.
Gunilla, your unknown Crocus looks like vernus to me, although I also see a yellow throat, which would exclude vernus.
For instance, do you think the yellow color in the throat is real color? Might it simply be a reflection of the color of the anthers?
Thomas,What happened with your photo camera We're still waiting impatiently to see the 2009 version of your Crocus Wiese !
