Colchicum 2010

[krisderaeymaeker]

Colchicum autumnale 'Lysimachus ' in flower .
 and because we had a lot of sunshine today  a better picture of Colchicum troodi.

[Oron Peri]

A species from the Lebanon mountains, flowering now...but no idea about the species ??

Hi Fred

It is C. hierosolymitanum  [Jerusalem Colchicum]

[BULBISSIME]

Thank's Oron,

but I also have this species from Israel and as far as I remember, it's very different.... wait and see as it's not yet flowering 

[Oron Peri]

Fred,
C. hierosolymitanum, has this particular structure where the styles are longer than the [yellow] anthers and they curve down at their tips.
Any way from the leaves [later on] it is easy to tell...
By the way, do you have its place of origin in Lebanon?

This is what I have as 'Nancy Lindsay'.  Looks the same as Gunilla's to me??

First Colchicum for this autumn here a medium-sized plant from Crete.

[BULBISSIME]

Seems to be C. macrophyllum Hans !

Thanks Fred,
C. microphyllum would fit better    
It grows in good soil  but it is very tiny (as two more I grow), diameter of the flower might be 6 cm, also leaves must have been very small as I do not remember them. There grow some similar plants nearby,  but flowers are more than double in size and the large mounts of leaves cannot be overseen.

[BULBISSIME]

well Hans, flower is really like C. macrophyllum, but leaves should be very big !!

here is C. macrophyllum from crete flowering now

My Colchicum-Meadow

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Wow Franz !!   

When you posted last time I had warned they were only getting started....  I am not disapointed ! 

[Herminarik]

Dear Mr. Hadacek,

Your garden and especially the Colchicum-meadow must be indeed very spectacular now. Gratulation.  Igor & Pavlina M.

Sensational Franz ... a beautiful meadow.

  Fred, your colchicum have dark anthers! I think these two colchicum from Crete are not the same sipecies!
