Flowering three weeks early this year is Colchicum minutum - quite difficult to photograph in todays bright sun shine.

I lifted many of them last year to pot up and grow in the greenhouse. Something ate them

I've found slugs eating Colchicum corms underground when I was digging them.

I find the small black slugs around the large bulbs. Mine disappearing was partially/mostly my fault because I just left them sitting where I had lifted them

Merendera kurdica, today, not flowering any earlier given the mild Winter.
AGS seed raised, one bulb always has dark anthers, I should try to separate it out I suppose.

I like to see that variation, myself. More interesting than a clonal potful to my eye - we call such pots "mixed widgets" - love 'em!

Who sells Colchicum hungaricum 'Valentine' and how does it differ from the pink form?
