We are enjoying this trip here in snowy Aberdeen, too, Kris. Just what is needed in December!
All the photos are good  but I must make mention of the fantastic arrow-leaved Cyclamen in image

Kris,
 these are fantastic photos with some amazing forms. Thanks for sharing them with us.
By the way, have you seen Biarum?

[Janis Ruksans]

This yellow looks incredible. My autumn trip to Crete few years ago was too early - in October. So I saw only few crocuses and they turned natural hybrid between boryi and tournefortii, unfortunately lost last winter.

The only thing we did not found was the Biarum davisii Oron . I have looked for it on several locations . I think it is flowering in october on Crete and that's why I did not found it ? On the other hand it is scarce to I suppose .
So there is a reason to go back sometimes....
I grow the both varietys at home but here they do not flowering very wel ! So I was interested to see how the conditions are in Crtete
