Ina,

It's definitely a crocus, and I'm leaning towards
Crocus serotinus ssp salzmanii. There are a few
different colour forms of it, some with the
speckling like yours has on the outer
petals. Timing is right, they're in flower here
too. A very good reliable flowerer.

I hope that is a help?

Cheers.
