Colchicums autumn 2007

[Joakim B]

More pics but this time not from the pond area but the two first in the lawn the third and fourth in a bed and the rest from a raised bed in area with mixed sun and shade. I think these later have only been there a year or two while the others are well established.
The first two might be crocus 

I have some ideas of what it can be but do not want to mislead You so I hope You can identify them all many are the same.

Kind regards
Joakim

Here is a colchicum that I bought on a plant sale in the botanical garden. It was not the garden selling.
It was a good price for a pot of them 10SEK =1€ so I bought the last two. There were 4 when I came but since they can be expensive I did not dare asking. When coming back I saw someone buying them and a few other things and not paying much so I asked the price and bought the only two she had left. Thaat is why I only got two.   .
Here are the pics. I do not remember the flower to be so big compared to my hand so it might be a little effect of them being closer than my hand, but not a huge difference to the reality.

Kind regards
Joakim

I have done some guessing of my own for the ones in the garden bed using the website of where they probally got the bulbs from.
On some of the sorts it is easier than others but I am not to any one answers yet.
The double one is either "Waterlily" or Autumnale pleniflorum. It seems to be more lilac than pink so I presume it is Waterlily.

The white one is either autumnale album or speciosum "album"
And on 13 14 I presume it is autumnale as they have stated.
The rest I do not know.
Hope there is more knowledged people that could narrow it down a bit.
Kind regards
Joakim

This one slipped past me. I would say
18 Waterlily
19 autumnale white form

[Joakim B]

Then we have 3 out of 20 identified and only lack the others  Is there any more help to be found here?

Kind regards
Joakim

New to me last year but only flowering this year is Colchicum asteranthum

[tonyg]

11 and 12 are Crocus pulchellus - assuming 11 is close-up of 12
1 2 and 8 are Colchicum aggripinum
3 4 9 10 and 19 all look like Colchicum autumnale album
16 could be the trade form of Colchicum laetum (not true to the species)
Merry Christmas!!

Nice picture Mark 
Tony thanks for the identification  Very well done Just a question if it is possible to identify the unknown I bought?
A very merry Christmas to all of You

Some shots taken on Ibiza on 16 October 2007

Frazer,
I am thinking it is Colchicum montanum ( Merendera montana).

[Anthony Darby]

On Ibiza it would be Colchicum filifolium [aka Merendera filifolia].

[hadacekf]

My name was wrong , I think the name of Anthony is correct

new year greetings from the glass house: small size, but unique colouration.......

[mark smyth]

Mine are also flowering. I like the colour. I have many small species flowering just now but the weather has been very bad for photography. The coming snow will ruin them. Let's hope it stops in Scotland LOL
