Unkown bulb from Spain

[JPB]

This bulb came out of a pot with Narcissus bulbocodium seeds from El Espinar, Segovia (collected by Rafa). It looks like a Fritillaria but it has a brown sheet and a strange curving lower margin.

Can anyone ID this one?

It's a Colchicum, Hans.

It may not have come in with the narcissus seed of course- Rafa would likely know the difference.

I'd vote for Colchicum as well. Has the little foot on it.

Hey Arnold, welcome to you! Having a good time? Getting north of the border?

[bulborum]

I vote too for Colchicum but maybe it is Merendera

Funnily enough we have some as well - in a pot of narcissus seedlings .....also from Rafa
Looking forward to seeing what they turn out to be!

Hope you get some football in Arnold. You won't get that north of the border though

Had a great time drank something new to me H.P. Bulmers.  Very nice drink.  Guy we sat  next to from Cumbria insisted I give it a try.

Did the pub thing twice and a real old one in Maida Vale and one near Cromwell Road.
The wife and daughter kept me too busy to catch any football

[Rafa]

sorry for delay replying, I was in France. Yes, It is Merendera montana, I hadn't time to clean the seeds

[fermi de Sousa]

Thanks, Hans,
no harm as it's on our "allowed" list 
I look forward to it flowering!
cheers

Thanks Rafa. And indeed Merendera  is on my "allowed" list
