I don't think so, it is labeled as wild stock (LST-402). It comes from surroundings of Denizli where was collected together with C. baytopiorum. It turned very variable there.

Yes, John, everything fine here with the Hubi's.
Would love to see some of your photos from last years visit - my own plants still seem to sleep.
Some are up, but most plants just begin to show their noses. And weather isn't good for photographing now  :-[

Hi Thomas,

Here they are. I forgot the labels, but I am sure the darker ones are Oxonian. Maybe you can help me to ID your Crocus.

Such good news about the book too. A Christmas present for 2101.

Bit optimistic on the longevity front, Lelsey? Or have you been at the virgins' bloody again? I'd stick to the pinot noir; it's easier to get out of the table cloths.

Lesley, you will be about 158 in 2101-are you sure you will make it ;D

I'm hopeful David  ;D but all the same had better rely only on 2010.
That's why we gave up tablecloths years ago Martin.

Looks like goulimyi. Slightly unusual overlapping petal arrangement, but I assume that's cos it's just opened.

Janis,

Excellent photos.  The standout to me is the contrasts in Crocus cancellatus pamphylicus, one I've never seen before.

Anthony,

I just adore the buds of the Dream Dancer.  Even not know what the flowers are like, those buds are brilliant.  I hope it, or seed to try, makes it to Australia one day.  Gorgeous!

Could my dark orange centred C. speciosus, a few posts above, be C. speciosus xantholaimos.

All my original C. speciosus purchases broke down to rice and I gave up on them. I bought speciosus xantholaimos in 2006. Three years is long enough for the corms to build to flowering size again.
