Thanks, Tony. Any chance it could be a hybrid with C.speciosus ilgazensis?

and also one that has me stumped- any ideas?
Simon - petals look like C speciosus, creamy anthers suggest a hybrid with Crocus pulchellus.
I agree. Style seem to be undeveloped.

Here's a good goulimyi ex TB via TG. Not as dark as Melvyns but a good colour

and serotinus SF221

this goulimyi looks like the styles have fused with the anthers.

Now that our southern crocuses are well over, it is a great thrill to see these wonderful flowers from the north. Even though many of the same appear each year, every one is as welcome here as it is in the garden. My warmest thanks to every poster.

Today at few moments clouds were something thinner and some flowers opened. Still last C. vallicola stocks (turkish) continue blooming showing variability of this wonderful species. Blooms bluish form of Crocus gilanicus, but flowers remained only half open as with C. nerimaniae, too.

Another few crocuses pictured today. Don't know will be possible to picture something tomorrow. The weather broadcast informs that heavy snowstorm tonight will reach my part of Latvia. The temperature in afternoon started to drop and now is only +2 C.

TonyG and Janis: superb croci you have :o

I admit having real difficulties to distinguish between C. thomasii, C. oreocreticus and Tony's "good one" C. pallasii. >:(
Especial Tony's photos of oreocreticus and pallasii looking so similar ??? 
Opposite to Tony's pallasii, the from Janis shows has such comparatively small anthers and style - very variable and all are real beauties 8)
No wonder - phylogenetical they are all more or less close related :P

I had a couple without a shadow but the colour was all wrong. I'll see what's possible tomorrow.
