Anyone know how autumnale 'Album' and autumnale 'Old Bones' differ? They look identical to me.

Nice Colchicum davidii, Chris.
I know that many prefer tinier things, but still these Colchicum Water Lily makes an eye-catching display

Thanks, Oleg.

Colchicum Waterlily make a cracking display but it wouldn't stand the wind here and probably too large for container growing.

Colchicum cousturieri (syn. C. cupanii), from Kurt Vickery.
Three flowers from one bulb is pretty good value.

I do like the miniatures.  8) Wouldn't give the larger varieties garden room.

Does anyone have white Colchicum cupanii for sale/swap/offer. Mine have died. Should have passed them on for safe keeping
