I studied the plantsman March 1997 article. But must still confirm when open if my "Dorothy" has basal lobes without black. Not easy to distinguish both, they resemble so much.I wait for your picture.Armin, this is my 'Dorothy' taken today- again I am interested to hear if she is true. Simon.

Here a second attempt (first time the pictures did not appear) 2 Crocus from the same place - Gökçe Pass, near Alanya - Turkeyidentification welcome - TH told me something about hybrids ( I can't memorize it)Gerd
Gerd, both of them are super. The area is C. biflorus subsp. isauricus and C. chrysanthus habitation. But I am not sure also to tell you And I want to attache the pictures of C. biflorus subsp. crewei from last week. I have seen severel locations of this crocus. What I think for these biflorus subspecieses. are more identifiable by leaves. ( number, color or wideness ) For example the C. biflorus subsp. crewei which I have seen have always 3 leaves just for yung corms have 2, the leaves were quite wide ( maybe widest in the biflorus grp.) and very nive grey color. -Crocus biflorus subsp. crewei forms.
Here are a couple of better pics of the Crocus vernus that I posted recently. To compliment them other forms of Crocus vernus.Crocus vernus albiflorus WurzjochCrocus vernus albiflorus Paso de ElbeCrocus vernus albiflorus Susten PassCrocus vernus MontenegroCrocus vernus Val D'Incles, AndorraThe last one brings back special memories. I collected the seed on my first mountain flower holiday in 1996
