Mostly lurking here on this wonderful thread, but I have to admit a bias towards the little ones, like C. cupani, such as those shown by Luc, Brian, and the beauties showed by Igor... thanks all.  I had a form of C. cupanii out in the garden for about 8 years, it didn't show up last fall, not sure if a rodent got at it.

Franz,

I'm guessing by that last shot that Crocus goulimyi self seeds as well?  ;D  If my IDing skills are correct of course.... it "looks" like a goulimyi to me anyway.  ;)
Cheers.

Paul,
You are right. The form is not typical, but it is a self seedling of C. goulimyi.

More small species from the Colchicum genus.
  Colchicum peloponnesiacum - probably a variety of C. cupanii
  Colchicum stevenii from Lebanon (photo 1&2 and 3&4 show different collections)

Hi everybody,

Some of our Colchicum miniatures. Colchicum pieperannum bloomed already at the end of July, C. kochii and C. laetum Arzegur a some weeks later.

C. pieperannum is new to me. Have you more info you can share ?

These little colchicum are charming. Interesting variation in the C. stevenii.
