Unbelievable display, I can only dream of ever seeing something like this.
I hope the more fortunate never take something like this for granted. :)

The plant i am currently growing as Crocus kosaninii , followed by Crocus pestalozzae, fully recovered from several weeks under its blanket of snow, and the first of the Crocus veluchensis 'Pearl of Rhodopi'. Also a side view of the plant shown yesterday as 'Crocus vernus albiflorus'. Happy to change can labels if anyone has suggestions. ;)

Michael, your vernus graecus looks badly virused  >:(
You better get rid of them - soon!!

Simon, Crocus kosaninii should have a yellow throat.
Yours look like tommasinianus to me  :-\

Hi Thomas. Does Crocus tommasinianus have such small varieties this one is no bigger than the plant I am growing as Crocus pestalozzae. I am just used to C.tommasinianus being huge in comparison.

Not impossible, Simon. Tommie varieties can vary from extra large to very small and
always lack a yellow throat.
