Some Forum members might recognize their babies..  ;D

2) Crocus boryi - from Tony G.
3) Crocus medius (now ligusticus  :-\) - from Mark

Thanks to all for getting me into Croconutism !

Dominique, very nine crocuses!
What I think about your C. pallasii,
it is C. palasii subsp. dispathaceus with orange style while the other subsp. has red style.

The sun was shining today so I took a few photos:-
08880b pulchellus albus
08875b speciosus?
08906b speciosus oxonian?
08913b eight petal mutant (bought as speciosus albus)

If anyone can confirm their i.d. I would be obliged.
