Colchicums late 2008

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

Luc, mine are outside in their third year and still do well!

Pat, in the last years I always had seeds of cupanii, pusillum and psaridis to spare. Please remind me next summer (June/July)

I grow it outside and it's OK but at this time I must put down slug pellets.

Thanks Thomas an Mark !    Good advice is always welcome.

I tried it outside here in Dunblane. Never saw it again. I don't think it is a bog plant?

Tony,
C. bivonae is not recorded in Fethiye ( for this species I have record in Edremit )
C. variegatum is not recorded in Edremit ( for this species I  have record in Fethiye )
I just want to help by locations.

ibrahim  you are quite correct.I have labelled the origin of the bulbs in the photographs the wrong way around when putting them on my pc. My apologies and it will teach me to write notes and not depend on what is left of an ageing brain when taking photographs.

Edremit is the best place to find C. bivonae in turkey? I want to go swimming but also looking for some flovers?!?!

[Tony Willis]

In late October the whole SW coast is good for flowers with masses of cyclamen just inland together with crocus, biarum, galanthus and colchicum in different areas. This reminds me only four weeks to wait. I do not bother with the swimming. Not C. bivonae but still nice to see,

[Hagen Engelmann]

I will thinking about swimming. Looking for flowers is much better.

Tony did that clump of Colchicums naturally occur in that rock pocket like that?? Stunning.
Thomas I will have to buy a diary for next year to put a reminder in it to ask about seed. Have never investigated how to do this on my laptop.

Pat

yes it did. The rock is limestone and full of holes. These are filled with the colchicum,usually on its own or cyclamen graecum and galanthus peshmenii either individually or together. I would add that the edges of the rocks are razor sharp and quite unpleasant to clamber about on.

Was not sure where to post this.

I knocked out a pot of ? Colchicum to either re-pot or plant in the garden.  No longer sure that it is a Colchicum, but also no idea what it might be.

Could someone please help me identify this plant.

[Tony Willis]

It looks like an asarum tuber.

[Anthony Darby]

Hermodactylus tuberosus  look like that too, but I do have some colchicums that have tubers, rather than bulbs, not too dissimilar to these.
