David,

That is a lovely dark form.  What I havehere is much paler than that.  Not as rounded petals either.  Very nice!!

Oh there was a final cut. Without the forum I have fewer fun. Now my world is ok again. Thank you to Maggi and Jim. I meant "first group to bloom". I post TEUFELSKRALLE and Colchicum bornmuellerii once more, also members of the first group.

The most globular flower of a colchicum I ever have seen. Who can help with the name?

Hagen

I do not know the name of your globular Colchicum.  I am interested to know how many bulbs you planted and how long to achieve the excellent group you now have.

Good morning Arthur,

2003 I planted 10 bulbs, but now the position is shady. The best time is over.

Often we have to divide our joy with snails, sadly. Here is GRACIA.

Colchicum macrophyllum, very big leaves but a delicate and fragile flower.

Colchicum variegatum from today, I hope the identification is ok (seems too simple)

Hello Hagen,

Wim, if you have verybig bulbs with 12/15 or more flowers, than you can have C. byzantinum. First plants begin to flower here.
