Very attractive setting. Several gardens around Stirling have areas of garden centre colchicums planted in this way, mostly in gravel areas with no other plants apart from the odd bush. Unless you really have a lot of space, it is not economical to do this in a suburban garden.

It seems to be one of the species in the cupanii group, although most (but not all) have leaves present when in flower. Could it be C. cretense?
