I thought, the garden time of colchicum would be over for this year. But these days DICK TROTTER came out to see our gardenworld. This cultivar was new for me. I got my first bulb from Dom and now are some more in flower. DICK TROTTER is really one of the best cultivares I ever saw.

It is Hagen - and what a great contrast it makes with the yellow of the fallen leaves !!  :)

I agree with Luc, Hagen, a sensational Colchicum against the yellow.

Some very nice photos both in the wild and in collection.

I just bought a C autumnale album and wonder if I can have it in the garden or it needs a pot. I can provide a spot besides amaryllis belladonna to give an indication of what grows there already.
Would this be a good spot?

All the best

They are baked solid into the clay soils of the meadows around here in summer, Joakim.  ;)

Hagen
They are considered the same species, the byzantinum is the double of largeness also in the flower????

You'd both be happy then, with colchicums under Robinia 'Frisia?' ???
