Not quite as big or beefy, but certainly surprisingly early-
Colchicum hungaricum- flowering now

With me at present blooms Colchicum cupanii and C. pusillum. From usually spring blooming species C. serpentinum is showing large well colored buds between cataphylls.

Something go wrong....... >:(

Janis, mine (cupanii and pusillum)already finishing flower in september and few in october.
Has something to do with the climate I suppose ?
Today is very wet and dark in Belgium but I try to take some pictures of Colchicum asterathum who come into flower.Due the bad weather the pictures are not very good and how can I send them??
