Flowering here today:
Crocus sativus
Crocus speciosus xantholaimos
Crocus kotschyanus kotschyanus

Gerry, JJA had C.thomasii as garden collected seed- so maybe it is a hybrid- but a very beautiful result!

Simon you have very good crocuses as well!
The last one is not a C. kotschyanus kotschyanus. It looks like C. puchellus!
