Lost label Colchicum

[johnralphcarpenter]

Can anyone identify this lost label Colchicum? It won't be anything rare or exotic!

[pontus]

to mee it looks fairly close to colchicum pannonicum....a bit battered by weather or slugs, just like mine this year

[johnralphcarpenter]

Not pristine for sure,but that's gardening! Thanks - or Colchicum autumnale?

[pontus]

I would have thought perhaps tenorii, but the flowers are a bit more rounded and almost goblet like on that sp..

it could potentially be autumnale also as you say, but in my experience they are more spindly and thin in appearence...

[johnralphcarpenter]

Well, this is C. tenorii, and it's a pretty close match, so that is probably it.

I've got one too, any ideas?
It's a multi-choice question! Choose from:

Colchicum baytopiorum
Colchicum bornmuelleri
Colchicum cilicium purpureum
Colchicum Harlequin
Colchicum Herbstkugel
Colchicum Poseidon
Colchicum psaridis
Colchicum Rosy Dawn
Colchicum speciosus Caucasus

[Otto Fauser]

Anne, my guess is C.speciosum. At first I thought it was speciosum var. bornmuelleri ,but that variety is purplish anthers .

[johnralphcarpenter]

I'm not familiar with those Cultivars, but it certainly looks speciosum-like to me.

Thank you!
