Is nudiflorus available in other colour forms other than the white 'Orla'?

Melvyn,

That is a cracker of a dark goulimyi.  Excellent form, and so dark.  Your other 3 pics are brilliant too.  They all look like nice species.  I grow other goulimyi here, but never seen anything that dark, and the tournefortii is a great plant isn't it?  The other two I've not seen in person.  Thanks for showing us these beautiful species and varieties.

Mark,

Excellent dark nudiflorus.  :o

Dominique,

Great set of photos.  Thanks for sharing.

Again so many wonderful Crocus !!

Melvyn, the dark goulimyi is breathtaking !
Mark, an impressive potful of medius !!
Dom, that clump of goulimyi outside in the garden looks so beautiful - remember to show it again in a few years - it should be exceptionnal then !!

Thanks everyone !!

I was for some days out of home - visited Goteborg's Botanical Garden in Sweden, so didn't read entries on Crocus forum. Returned to real winter - all around is white, covered by snow. So crocuses are closed but I can show few pictures from Gothenburg BG.
The best seen - Crocus mathewii with lilac base color which got cultivar's name 'Karin' in honour of greatest Colchicum specialist of today Karin Persson, who find this beuaty in wild together with her husband Jim.
See the malformed flowers of Crocus gilanicus - many flowers has less than 6 flower segments. Most possibly caused by too cool summer.
Excellent blue colored Crocus caspius and C. thomasii.

I have a white gouimyi flowering today. Again lost label  ::) I dont know where my labels go. How do I know if it is Mani White or other white forms of goulimyi? It has green spots on the sheaths. I have photos but not edited
