well I am not certain what the crocus is-
most likely
Crocus tommasinianus \'Ruby Giant\' a sterile cultivar
but I have also planted Crocus vernus \'Remembrance\'
and \"crocus species mixture\" from Van Engelen
Here is a closer photo.

Not all crocus survive here, I read that C tommasinianus is squirrel resistent, but I don\'t get many squirrels. I tried saffron but it did not survive after the first year:-(
