It certainly has a lovely, cheerful centre to it Karl.
Some more Bulgarian Crocus biflorus - an attempt to show the variability in flower form found here.
Simon Crocus biflorus SGBR Dark.JPG is simply stunning will you be collecting seed from these forms?

Frankie,
very nice croci. It seems you got some sunshine :D. I'm surprised 'Vanguard' is already in flower. Usually it is one of the later flowering cultivars with me.
Still dull and windy here. :'(

Well, my Crocuses fall over due to wind and rain. 1 1/2 day sunshine last week :'(

Does vanguard cross with tommasinianus? This bicoloured Crocus pop up everywhere in my garden. It is looking a little similar to Vanguard.

Hoy,
possibly yes. 'Vanguard' is a selection of van Tubergen nurserie from a Russian C. vernus.
It is known since 1934.

Trond, I have the same 'problem' with bicoloured tommasinianus, but I have no vangaurd in my garden, so I suppose it is a variation of tommasinianus or maybe a vernus x.

Tommasinianus is spreading all over my garden in many different forms, but it is a pretty 'weed'. I think it really appreciate our cool and moist Nordic gardens.
