An autumn-flowering crocus that is quite isolated in Crimea, found in small groups in bright places under trees, mostly along forest edges and in grass. Named after the Latvian botanist Nikolai J. Puring. The somewhat variable lilac-blue flowers appear quite early, from late August and are reminiscent of Crocus speciosus. Previously offered as Crocus speciosus 'Aino'.
