Hi Miriam,
They look wonderful! I'd not heard of this species before - I wonder if anyone is growing it in Australia as I see it is allowed into the country as seed! I must check with Marcus or Otto!
cheers

Great pictures Miriam. How fantastic to see such beautiful flowers in the otherwise barren desert.  :) Now bring on the irises. ;D

Hi Tatsuo , regarding temperature spring already arrived here .....but regarding sunshine it is rather autumn .....
Your falcifolium looks great as ever ....
Here C. serpentinum goes on and on  ....

(why this genus is so unpopular ?)

Thanks, Kris. The thing is always 'latitude' ;)

Colchicum triphyllum and Colchicum kesselringii, today. I realised that this kesselringii flower has heliotrope scent :)
