First colchicum here was Colchicum byzantinum in the shady fern garden last weekend

followed quickly by Colchicum davisii in a hot sunny sand bed

then Colchicum montanum and now Colchicum bivonae are blooming in a mound of top soil.

Anybody ID this flower, please? I brought my summer dormant bulb pots out from a shed today and spot this flower has already opened in a crocus (JJA 352.006 Crocus serotinus subsp. salzmannii) pot. I noticed something broader leaves in this pot several years ago but didn't see its flowers before. It looks colchicum or its relatives for me ???

Tatsuo-San,
As Ashley has mentioned on the other Thread I would suggest Colchicum (Merendera) montanum as well.
I got seed of the the same crocus (from Rafa) with the same interloper!
cheers

Thank you for your quick ID, Fermi :) :) :) May be my crocus seeds originated from Rafa as yours ;D

These small colchicums are tricky to photograph, at least with my ancient camera. Firstly, I bought this as Colchicum corsicum. Does it look right? It's tiny.

Secondly, Colchicum davisii.
