They have been there a long time, maybe I should split the clump? When would be the best time to do it?

and Colchicum bornmuelleri which grows very well here

Despite the heat Colchicum flowering is at this best this autumn, i watered sectors where they grow early septembre.

First of my Colchicums started to flower in late August: it is C.bivonae.
Next ones to come up were 'William Dykes' and 'Emerald Town' which is very big and good Colchicum.
Colchicums are one of my favourite autumn flowers! :)

Heralds of the fall - all beautiful!
My C. autumnale Album is up but the pink one is just showing up. Don't know why we are behind this year comparing with other regions.
