I blundered on the ID of C. minimus...it is actually C. corsicus.  Here it is with the flower closed.

Crocus still going strong...the C. sieberi are now out..they are among the last to bloom.  Meanwhile, on the north side of the house, the tommies are just sprouting!

Below is Tricolor, Violet Queen and the beautiful Hubert Edelstein

The Crocuses (or Croci??) are finished here except a few stragglers. Edelstein is new to me. Looks nice.

Despite a very early start, the crocus season is really just getting going here!
Having said that, the Crocus sieberi 'Tricolor' are done now... accelerated by the snow.

Wait!  I'm not ready to give up on crocus yet!  Grin
1) Crocus chrysanthus 'Advance'
2 - 7) Various C. chrysanthus, tomassinianus(?), vernus...
8, 9, 10)  These two common C. vernus types seem to have got together to make this intermediate form (last photo)... unless I'm forgetting what all I planted a decade ago.   (Who me???  Grin)

Great crocus show Lori!  Mine are all tightly closed with all the rain, drizzle and fog.  I hope to get a pic of C. sieberi 'Hubert Edelstein' with open flowers but it doesn't seem likely.

....... was that crocus chrysanthus article by Tomas Huber?  I have a copy of photo plates taken by him in an article he wrote but be darned, if I know the original source.  I use his pictures all the time to try and ID my chrysanthus and tommies.
Todd , here are a couple of links you were looking for, I think.... Cool

Thanks Ian!  I have downloaded his pics as a future reference.  Our weather has been so wet and cold this past 10 days that most chrysanthus simply rotted before they ever opened properly.

Oops, I had forgotten that I had promised these links.  I have it on a ToDo list, but I need a separate ToDo list to check my ToDo list!  :Smiley  Thanks Ian and Maggi

PS:  Note to Hugh, I see from our non-functioning "Roll the eyes" emoticon, that troubleshooting the escaping of the double colon symbol hasn't happened yet... it shows up as a colon followed by the smile icon.
