Autumn flowering crocus?

Last week I rescued a couple of packets of crocus speciosus (autumn
flowering) from a garden centre (50p a bag). They had flowered in
their perforated polythene bag and the shoots had pushed their way
through the holes! I had a job disentangling the shoots and the
papery, dried-up flowers. I have planted them and will see what
happens. The bulbs seemed firm so I have hopes.
