Crocus paschei is a species of Crocus originating from Turkey. Large, silvery, soft violet-blue flowers have small golden throats and yellow anthers and prominent red-orange styles. They lend themselves to being unusually attractive in pots as they produce solid congested clumps, the flowers crowding together to form a solid mass. This plant is extremely rare, and indeed is protected in the wild. It was discovered in the Taurus Mountains of Southern Turkey in 1994, and the locality is a closely guarded secret. These precious seeds are related to the original find by Erich Pasche.
