Gerhard,
I can soothe you - you are not the first croconut / forumist who feels fooled by a bulb supplier.
Mix of orders and impurities in stocks are realities to deal with. >:(

You 'Dream Dancer' resembles cv. 'Purple Heart'. It looks the anthers seem to be vestigial in your sample, too.

Additional to Janis and Tony's replies a little collection...

Do you hand-polinate and does it set seed?

Yes, I’ve already done hand pollination these flowers yet and my plants usually set seed but not so many.

Regarding Purple Heart (hadriaticus hybrid). Seems that it isn't true Purple Heart. There were some mix in original stock as you can see in attached picture's in right side, And this looks more as mix plants. True Purple Heart (confirmed by its breeder) is on left side and in seperate picture. Sorry for quality - for some mistake I deleted my original pictures and now used resized from my mail-box correspondence with breeder of Purple Heart.

No contest really, biflorus alexandri has always been one of my favourite crocuses but yours is especially nice. Exquisite is, I think, the word I'm looking for here.  8)

This one I grew from seed which came as sieberi sieberi which it aint. I think it looks like ssp atticus and would welcome opinions so I can label it.

First impression is ssp sublimis from the good colour and bright yellow in throat.
