So nice and bright colour is Colchicum luteum. I'm looking forward having a big clump of this plant....

Last year I divided and gave away some Colchicum minutum. They are flowering since the weekend. I hopefully have a colour break. They odd ones look pure white to the eye but the camera shows them as a very pale pink

szovitsii Tivi is looking better than ever

What colour break were you looking for Mark?  The shape of C minutum is very appealing and I imagine less likely to keel over  ::)

Robin I wasn't looking for any. The plants have changed themselves.

I've got several clones of Colchicum szovitsii.  This one has starry shaped flowers similar shape to 'Tivi' but with pink reverse to the petals.

I had the same idea, Udo. Now if only the C.luteum will wait for C.kesselringii, which is some days behind!
