Hi.Crocus in northern Alicante province, Spain, at the foot of the Sierra Mariola.Not sure about how it should be called because Flora Iberica treated all similar plants as C. serotinus but this name has been 'fixed' for the plants with reticulated fibers growing in acid sandy soils and slate on the Atlantic basin, so only Crocus salzmannii is left. Rukšans and Mathew seemed to agree on this.

And two pics of what from now on has to be called Crocus serotinus.

Thanks to Carlos for these beautiful photos, showing exactly how a Crocus species should be documented.

I believe you're correct with your name.

I checked the label  and it is L. pygmaea

I don't think I can go back in and change the caption ofn the photo.

@Arnold You can use either "Quick edit" or "More..."->"Modify" to change the text of your post. With  the latter you also could re-upload the photos with a new filename. Changing the filename is, strangely enough, not possible - even though it is actually NOT used on our server, where uploaded files are renamed to a hexadecimal number code.

Thanks I think I was able to correct my error.

More Crocus serotinus (as things are now). This is part of my research but it's not really something I found myself: it grows not only on sandy places by the sea, also on acid forest soil ruch in humus, mainly cork oak forests.

First photo in habitat in Odemira, Algarve.
