Crocus goulimyi

Naturally growing in Greek olive groves, this autumn flowering crocus is probably too Greecian for 'ordinary' outdoor conditions here but will be hardy in sheltered situations. The most perfectly proportioned and gorgeous of any Crocus in my eyes. Alternating petals of dark and paler soft silvery lilac with paler throats.
