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!

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