Hi leifus - it would have made more sense to have put these 5 new identification request threads you've just posted into one thread.

sorry, someone said this before and I explained I find it much easier this way than searching for 3 which could be the same as 5 and 2 looks like this and etc.

bit of a grey area. 2/3 separate threads would been OK, but obviously 20 in the space of half and hour would be excessive. 4/5 isn't much of a problem so I'll let this slide at the moment, but if it starts a trend to increase post count (every new thread will require unique replies etc) then I'll just start merging threads and posts together

don't stop posting threads! I rely on these wildflower IDs to keep me going I think its pretty obvious I'm rubbish at fungi, so wildflowers is what I'm best at.

Flower ID threads with about four of five species on aren't that bad to post. Its just really bad if a thread is posted with about 25 species requiring IDs when it would make more sense to put them in groups of five in separate threads. In that way the replies can be coordinated between species . for example if they were all one, then we would be constantly flicking up and down to previous posts and photos to see which Species # corresponds with which flower.

ps. it looks like early crocus to me.

It looks like Early Crocus - but to be sure look at the flower stalk - it should be white in Early Crocus, but with a tinge of purple in Spring Crocus and hybrids.
