Crocus sativus blooming?

This is because the plant is a corm and not a bulb! Unlike true bulbs,
corms do not form the flowers within the corm during dormancy- the flower
buds develop on the growth shoots.

See this reference's abstract:

The abstract says more cold is required to initiate bloom than to form the
blooms in the corms.
