Thanks, I received several responses confirming *Crocus sieberi ssp sieberi.* Also on the SRGC forum that the flower that bloomed last November was indeed *Crocus laevigatus*, so the collector mixed the seed. Good learning experience. It was quite insteresting trying to figure out what was in the pot.. I am ready for more Crocus seed! Hardy bulbs and seed seem almost as rare as hens teeth on the BX, hint, hint!!
