Hi there, I hope Colchicums are allowed on the Crocus page. Does anyone have a picture of Colchicum pusillum, we are growing it fom seed and it is taking some time and we can't remember what it looks like?

It's very pretty, but only one decent mouthful for a slug - how do you keep them away??

In answer to your question Shelagh - no. There is a fairly extensive colchicum thread elsewhere.

Thomas, I thought
pusillum
had yellow anthers (the last pic for anther colour, but the second pic for leaves) and
cretense
had brown anthers (like your first pic), with the tiny flowers appearing before the leaves?

You'll see that this thread has been moved now to Bulbs General, from Crocus: hope the move didn't make you dizzy!

Talking of happy bunnies - I had the delight of eating curried Agouti (a big guinea pig) last week. Delicious, if a lttle tough.

Sue - I'll do my best with slug pellets!
Ibrahim - sorry, no photos of the corm!
Anthony - can't help you with your question, but all my plants (from 2 different greek locations)
are from a most reliable source, so I guess they are true to name. But you will notice in the
second photo, that there also is a yellow anthered one between the brown ones.
