And while you have those Merendera flowering in your area..... I have Merendera montana flowering for me at the moment here in the southern hemisphere.

Paul,

I hope you'll show the pic of merendera montana.

Zhirair,

Happy to, as you're interested.  It's in a pot, rather than naturally occurring of course.  ;DI figured it was most likely the commonest type of Merendera so wouldn't be of great interest.

Paul,

Thanks for posting the photo. It's a cuttie, anyway!

It seems so delicate, as the petals are so long and thin.  So very different to the Colchicums which it resembles in superficial ways.

Last year I asked for help in identifying a white colchicum, that I hoped might be 'Cretan White'

I now post 2 photos of the leaves, together with an original photo of the flower, and hope somebody can positively identify it.

Thanks

Surely someone must know whether my Colchicum are macrophyllum.  The leaves are now nearly 12 inches high so qualify as 'macro'  Thanks in advance
