The colour and markings are shown up more by the dark slate chippings. They are a really lovely crocus.

Nice one Kath! Looks just like mine. I was just saying to Linda, this crocus is a bit of a show-off! :))

Very nice flowers, though I'm not too keen on these overblown Dutch hybrids I much prefer the smaller, more dainty flowers of the species Crocus. I have loads opening now on my balcony.

I agree Balcony. The species are just jewels!

I do agree with you Balcony but still love my big stripey and white crocus for the amazing show they give.

I admit they are very striking & do give an amazing show, no doubt.

Yes Balcony but in spring I shall be looking for species crocus.

Kath, tommasinianus 'whitewell purple' is very easy to come by at Dobbies and it's very beautiful. That's the one I have all around the greenhouse. I also have a couple of other species types and I got them all from Dobbies at autumn time. Definitely worth looking out for. I won't say they are true species, but they are pretty under-hybridised and close to species. The proper species ones, like the ones in my latest blog...they are absolutely stunning. I might try to get some and grow them in pots as 'treasures'. I would definitely like some of those gorgeous little narcissi that look up to the sky, they are perfect!
