Crocus sieberi ssp sublimis

Just sublime!

From the mountains of Greece, S. Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania, where it should be still buried under snow, waiting for Spring. Here, in the cold frame it was just warm enough today when the sun came out for the flowers to begin to open, but this is as far as they got!

This one will grow out in the open garden, when I have raised enough of them from seed I will release a few.
