For Thomas who will know why ;)
Crocus vernus albiflorus - ex Wurzjoch
Crocus vernus albiflorus - ex Paso de Elbe
Small (very small Paso de Elbe) but little beauties nonetheless!

Very nice vernus forms Tony !!

Armin,
So these are Crocus that flower "after the snow melt" as the plant hunters call them ...  ;) Very nice and promising for the future.

Franz,
Your meadow Crocus may not be something special to you, but they're a delight to all of us I'm sure !!  ;)

Franz and Armin - great photos of your lawn. My own still needs some more warm days.

Tony, these plants are from Passo di Erbe which is called Würzjoch in German.

Anne - according to Mathew, C. tommasinianus has a white perianth tube. Though it's not too clear on your photo, the bract doesn't look right for this species. Maybe Tony &/or Thomas can say something more definite?

C. biflorus subsp.  pulchricolor is very pretty & 'Cream Beauty' is one of my favourites too.

Anne - I think the white/blue tommasinianus looks more like a white Crocus vernus.  Both the flowers and the few, wider leaves suggest this.  I'm sure Gerry is right too but I don't have the books at work to check!
