This Colchicum neapolitanum appears to be a bit elongated - possibly because it's in more shade now,

Among the seedlings of the NOT Colchicum bivonae is one that is staying pale pink even after it has opened

This colchicum was passed around our group as "Mrs Craig's Colchicum" for many years.
Otto and Viv have identified it as a form of Colchicum byzantium

We got this one from a friend as Colchicum autumnale but I'm not sure if it mightn't be a hybrid.
It emerges with pale flowers with just the tips of the petals coloured; as it matures the colour spreads to the entire flower,

Colchicum corsicum grown from seed and planted out long before the Dymondia margaretae overgrew the area!

I grew this Colchicum arenarium from seed sent by Betty Clarke in NZ in 2011; she said she'd originally got it from Mary Evans

Interestingly enough Colchicum cupanii is in flower again - it flowered around this time last year which I thought was because it had been kept dry for too long.
I got this from Jon B ("Minibulb Lover" on this Forum) a few years ago and his were in flower more than a month ago!

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, and it's of the first autumn Colchicum already here, 2-3 months early!

This is Colchicum byzantinum 'Innocence', which opened a few days ago.

Best wishes.

It’s beautiful, Rob-Rah!
Over near Seattle, some of my Cyclamen hederifolium var album are blooming a few weeks earlier than normal too. It’s been hotter than normal, so I’ve been watering more than normal, and wondered if that might be related.
Welcome from a fellow newcomer! :)
