Colchicum & relatives 2017

[sokol]

Another tiny Colchicum from seed collected at Omalos, Crete in 2014, just 3 years to come into flower what's really fast.

Thank you Sjaak ('Tulipaholic').  I found a picture of Colchicum laetum in an old Bulb Log here http://www.srgc.org.uk/bulblog/log2005/280905/log.html but the stripe down the centre of the petals seemed more pronounced than in the specimens I have.

This year our C. speciosum have struggled but this rather blowsy patch is looking wonderful.

They're "glam" aren't they?  The doubles hold their shape better even when weather-beaten here.

Couple of unknown Colchicums.

[ArnoldT]

This one is Colchicum Rosy Dawn.

Opens very white and ages to pink.

[Yann]

Colchicum autumnale, flora pleno. Full sun and he seems happy.
Colchicum cupanii, this one deserve 5 stars

[hadacekf]

I think it is C. cilicicum.

[Maggi Young]

Wonderful to see in the sunshine, Franz.  Do you not have trouble with slugs and snails ? All those flowers look perfect!

[hadacekf]

No, my  slugs and snails like no bulbs!

[Maggi Young]

No, my  slugs and snails like no bulbs!

Then you are a VERY lucky man!

Colchicum cousturieri somewhat shy to open fully.

[johnralphcarpenter]

Colchicum cupanii subsp. cupanii.

[olegKon]

Unlike autumn crocuses colchicums are thriving here this season


1. Colchicum autumnale album (or a hybrid as it is selfseeded)

2. colchicum Water Lily

I think it was about 1300-1400 m high because we were close to top but there were still pine trees around. Soil was red.
I think  cataphylls were brown if I correctly understand what it is .
here is another picture of the same plant.
