Jane mentioned virused Crocus medius from Holland - I have mounted a
picture on the wiki of this form,

and of the apparently clean form that a few are lucky to grow
http://www.ibiblio.org/pbs/pbswiki/files/medius_clean.JPG

In crocus virus is most likely to be seen through twisted, deformed or
streaked flowers.  Streaked flowers are usually slightly mis-shapen as
in the medius illustrated.  The leaves may not show any obvious sign
of virus.
