As you might imagine, there are photos of many of these plants in growth elsewhere in the Forum ...
for instance : https://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=8369.msg240448#msg240448

or https://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=8369.msg240837#msg240837

or https://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4873.msg132675#msg132675 for colchicum x alberti and others.

Just make a search , either from the forum's own facility or you can also use the name of the plant, plus SRGC, in google to get good results.

Edit by maggi: following forum updates in 2020 there may be security warning messages when you click on the above links but these are unfounded, since no security sensitive details are included or asked for in this forum.

Dima Zubov has kindly agreed that I may update this thread with new photos - it may take me some time to load them all!

With a collection of about 160 accessions, I decided that an educational album of mainly spring-flowering Colchicum species of known origin, could be made with the view of their corms, so that you can see not only the flowers in my other albums, but also their corms. The album will be replenished gradually as my live collection is planted. Cheers Dima Zubov
