Thanks Wallaby,
I looked at the links you gave but the 'violet queen' s in them don't correspond with mine. I went for a search myself but couldn't find any similar. I bought it 2 years ago in a garden centre, but the package only said 'botanical crocuses'.

Mine has very elongated and pointed petals different from the more rounded of the pictures of 'Violet Queen'.

I like the delicate little crocuses in your first picture.

I also like, but less, the yellow one's. Problem with Yellow is that is easily over shout all the other, more subtle coloured ones. But when you have a big space, it is easy to find a place where they don't overrule and yellow is a warm and happy colour to lift up the spirits in the dark period of the year.

It looks like King Winter only came for a very short visit. Temperatures have risen again and all the snow is gone.



dmj1218, do you also grow crocuses in your warmer climate zone ?

Here is a picture that illustrates the pointy shape of my crocus which doesn't seem to be the violet queen.
