Identification of autumn flowering crocus (for real!)

Posted by sweetpea64 (My Page) on

As per my previous post re identifiying a narcissus, here's a crocus that is flowering now (April in New Zealand). The leaves came up first and, since removing the grass around the plants, I notice the flowers fall over - the stems don't seem very supportive :). The flower colour is a pale blue/purple and the stamens are bright yellow.
Because of this I think they are Crocus speciosus xantholaimos. Can anyone confirm?
