You'll notice that later in that post I suggest the Coclhicum munzerense is a spring flowering species. I have C. hirsutum out now, which was also out in December last year.

Susan, do you grow this plant outside? After the long last winter it could be that the late flowering plants have waited
until the frost was gone before they flowered, while Mark's and Anthony's plants in the greenhouse flowered earlier.

Mark/Thomas,
It was grown outside and I have found this photo taken on the 3rd Jan, the last one was taken on 13 march. A long time in flower. Also I have so much leavemold on them they take a while pushing through it.
