Colchicum identification
« on: February 20, 2012, 07:24:28 PM »
Can anyone assist by identifying this Colchicum from Turkey.  I only saw the one - it was growing near some Galanthus peshmenii.

I think I remeber the flower being slightly pinker than the colour here

 This is a C. baytopiorum. most importan feather is golden swollen filaments base. It is quıte comon in that region. Even we have found the white form of this baytopiorum.
