Crocus medius

Crocus medius taken today. You can't tell from the photo but they are 3-4 in high. Planted Sept 14 this is their first year in my garden. According to John E Bryan they were introduced in 1843 from the S France. Since C. vernus doesn't like my warm winter climate, I am experimenting with several of the species from around the Mediterranean like C. ancyrensis, C. olivieri and C. minimus. I hope to find some that will be happy enough to naturalize.
