Hi Jim,
As an experiment I tried entering your four words, of intrigue and mystery, into Wikipedia and the results are quite illuminating!  How much we can trust this information is open to debate but it appears to be an excellent starting point ... ?

I sure hope seeds of some of these Colchicum species make their way to the SRGS seedlist.
Such beauties.
Warm regards,
Pat T

Hagen,

Would you, please, post a photo of your colchicum 'Zephyr' and describe its main features, by which it is distinguished from other varieties. I cannot enlarge its picture in your website.

It is blooming for me the first year, but I think it could be mislabeled, as it has very ordinary appearnace, resembling unhybridised colchicum speciosum. It's heart desn't look star-shaped.

What a tremendous show Dominique !!!!

My favourite is C. alpinum - what a neat little gem that is !

But the masses of the others are phenomenal !
What on earth do you do with the leaves in Spring ???
