Colchicum agrippinum
The two clumps of Colchicum speciosum album in the background are self sown seedlings.  They are still flowering after the main clump have gone over.  I really need to split up my colchicums but it's a problem what to do with the hundreds of bulbs left over after replanting.

Flowering for the first time with me is a newly acquired Colchicum Cupani subspecies Cupani. It's a great little flower with a slight scent. I have brought it into the house to admire the flower while it lasts.

Roma, don't you have friends? Do send them those bulbs that are left over after replanting! I believe, some of us would be happy to give a shelter or a permanent home to those poor leftovers.

BTW, beautiful clumps of Colchicum agrippinum. All my colchicums are over now. I do not have good clumps either - it seems colchicums do not really like my garden. And I do not have C. agrippinum.

Cheers, Jacek

A wonderful Christmas surprise today was to find Colchicum luteum in flower.

(Apologies for poor lighting, the sun put in a rare showing)
