Rudi,

VERY NICE!

Falls City, OR USA

I am in USDA zone 8b where temperatures almost never fall below 15F -9.4C.  Rainfall 50" 110 cm + but none  June-September.  We seldom get snow; but when it comes we get 30" overnight. Soil is sandy loam with a lot of humus.

Colchicum byzantinum 'Innocence' started blooming in my garden, much to my surprise.  There are those, the purple spots characteristic of this variety on the tips of the petals, maybe because it is currently about 30 degrees and very sunny.
