''Crocus sieberi'' (Sieber's crocus), also referred to as the Cretan crocus or snow crocus (as is ''Crocus chrysanthus''), is a plant of the ''Crocus'' genus in the Iridaceae family. A small, early blooming crocus, it easily naturalises, and is marked by a brilliant orange which is mostly confined to the stamens and style, fading through the bottom third of the tepal. It grows wild in the Balkans, Greece and Crete. There are four subtypes: ''sieberi'' (Crete), ''atticus'' (Attica area around Athens), ''nivalis'' and ''sublimis''. Its cultivars are used as ornamental plants.
