Thanks for showing us, Gerd.  I have never seen anything like it. Amazing  :o.
A little warmer here today and all snow is gone. Maybe spring is on its way at last. 
A few pics from my garden
Crocus chrysanthus 'Moonlight' ?  (I'm not sure but that was the name on the label)
Crocus tommasinianus 'Pictus'


Gunilla,
your nice clump of C. chrysanthus "Moonlight" is likely "Romance" or "Cream Beauty". Both resemble on the outer markings.
You may find it in one of my pictures.
And you have beautiful "Pictus" ;)

Here are some Crocus growing en masse at the Botanical Garden of Wuppertal - sorry for the bad quality of the pics (I took the wrong lens)

The last pic is from my garden and shows a nearly white C. tommasinianus

Gerd

This single "Lady Killer" must be grown from seed, as I never placed any corms there.

C. chrysanthus "Miss Vain" is (likely) a selection (hybrid) of C.biflorus ssp weldenii (thanks Dirk ;))
"Miss Vain" seems to be sterile (never set seed).
Then one of my favourites C. versicolor...
