Thank you very much for the id, Oron!

Viv has already posted pics of autumn colchicums to the Southern Hemisphere thread; here are a couple I found in flower in our garden:
Colchicum 'Lilac Major' (that's the name I received it under but wonder if it might be 'Lilac Wonder') x 2 pics,
Colchicum neapolitanum macranthum
cheers

Hi Pete,
were these grown from seed? The one in the centre seems to have different coloured anthers.

In our garden, one rather sad looking Colchicum cilicium

Hi Fermi.
Yes, they were from the AGS seed distribution originally. One always has the grey anthers and I keep meaning to try and isolate it. I have never had seed set though. I should get a paint brush out I suppose.
Another nice species is Colchicum szovitsii. Again seed grown and getting better each year. Better planted close together.

Pete,
That's a pretty impressive flowering on that species.
Here are a few more in our garden, I think they are all forms of C. cilicium but received the first two as C. atropurpureum and "Mrs Craig's Colchicum", the third as C. cilicium "Pale Form"
cheers

No, I'm not sure, but that's what Kevock sold it as!
