Bought as Crocus speciosus, I think, years ago. (It is Not the Saffron Crocus, the stamens of which are used in cooking)
Comments on this photo
A dozen or so flowers have popped up in the last 2 days. Flowers before leaves.

I bought some Saffron Crocus for the stamens for culinary purposes, but they are not doing at all well. They are the only Crocus in my semi bed, to keep them seperate.
