Crocus kotschyanus
Wonderful display Karl .. pity about the weather.  At least the leaves are safely under ground so no long term damage to the C kotschyanus.

Mark, there must be something wrong with my screen: Your laevigatus Albus looks blue  ??? >:( Which supplier?

Great photos, Karl and Simon (your medius is surely virused!!!)

The dark tube suggests Oxonian.

Great pictures as usual Mark.
