Crocus leichtlinii and Narcissus romieuxii

I have posted a photo of the early-flowering "true blue" Crocus leichtlinii
on the wiki:

I have several seedling populations of this beautiful crocus, but I believe
all of them stem from the KPPZ collection which I think was in the 1980s.
It is not difficult to grow in the bulb frame, kept dry but not parched in
summer.

I also posted a photo of Narcissus romieuxii var. rifanus, which I got
under the name N. riffanus from Michael Salmon, who prefers the splitting
approach to the genus.

Both these pretty bulbs are in flower here in late January, along with a
number of other crocuses and early Narcissus.
