I got a very rose plant under the name C greacum Hyb. You can see it in the foreground of VIOLET QUEEN. The different colors stand good in harmony. I mean it is important to find good neighbors in a colchicum plantation.

Yes, the contrasting colours are most appealing.
Important for us all to have good neighbours, though, Hagen, not only our Colchicums, eh?!!  ;)
