Crocus flavus
It is a small crocus (5–6 cm (2–2 in), despite the names of some cultivars, compared to the Giant Dutch crocuses (C. vernus). Its cultivars are used as ornamental plants.
Crocus flavus (syn. Crocus luteus, Crocus aureus Sibth. & Sm.), (Dutch yellow crocus) is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the Iridaceae family. It grows wild on the slopes of Greece, former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania and North West Turkey, with fragrant bright orange-yellow flowers which Tennyson likened to a fire.
It should be some kind of Crocus sp. , Crocus flavus maybe, need help with ID
