Is that one always late Ralph, all mine are over now?

Looking back to previous years photographs, David, it seems to bloom at around the same time each year.

A double Colchicum autumnal is. Not as conspicuous as Water Lily but nice somewhat bicoloured and one of the last to flower, sometimes doesn’t have time before snow comes, anyway I enjoyed it’s flovering in April this year (picture 2). And now in its usual time.
