Fall Crocus goulimyi

Fall Crocus goulimyi

I haven't tried Crocus goulimyi here in central Indiana. Maybe I should?

I have had nudiflorus and a nice clone of kotschyanus, but perhaps our
drought is to blame for their not appearing so far this autumn.

I had a batch of speciosus naturalized in the lawn, but it gradually
disappeared. Perhaps the grass crowded it out.

I have at least two customers in the upper Midwest (zone 4) who claim C.
goulimyi winters reliably for them. Are there any zone 4/5 gardeners on
this list who have had good luck with this species (Jim Shields, perhaps?)?
