Colchicum & relatives 2018

[sokol]

Colchicum variegatum grown from seed collected on Samos 2013.



This one shall be Colchicum pusillum, it is from AGS seed. But I am not convinced that this is right.

[Bart]

Anyone an idea which one this is?
(Maggi, I didn't flip it on the computer, but it is still not right... )




 ..... fixed for you ! m

First time blooming in our garden. The foliage throws off many visitors. This combination of an unknown Colchicum variety, and Arisaema candidissimum, seems to have worked out. I had hoped that the Arisaema would have been on its way out, by this time, but it has kept a few guessing

Bart:

My vote would be Colchicum byzantinum Alba.  It has the purple style tips.  I've had some with an occasional purple strip down the petal as in one of yours.

This is Colchicum pusillum from Agios Kambos on Crete

I´d think the same. Sometimes this variety tends to revert to Colchicum byzantinum.

Excellent! Thank you Arnold and Marietta.

Colchicum 'Dick Trotter'



Colchicum 'Nancy Lindsay'

[johnralphcarpenter]

Colchicum cousturieri (syn. Colchicum cupanii), so tiny I almost missed it.

[Mariette]

This year, Colchicum ´Dick Trotter´looked unusually pale in my garden, at least the first flush of flowers. Maybe due to the hot, dry summer and early flowering? Now, nine days later, the new flowers look more typical.

Colchicum 'Waterlily' looking good this year.

[David Nicholson]

Is that one always late Ralph, all mine are over now?

[Yann]

same here David, this form is always late.
