Great C. agrippinum Roma . What a nice clump ....Also the speciosum album looks great .

[Roma]

Thanks,Kris.  Both badly need splitting up, especially the agrippinum but I forget till they start flowering again and it's too late.

Ian mentions this problem in this week's Bulb Log : http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2013Sep251380106127BULB_LOG_3913.pdf   -he thinks it's okay to split them even at this stage if it's done carefully........

Thanks Maggi.  I haven't got round to looking at the Bulb Log yet.

The Colchicums are still chugging along out on the coast. And still standing upright.

This one was obtained as 'Old Bones' - it's not, presumably because of the white mark. A quite tall variety.

Unfortunately this seems to have been muddled and is not 'Old Bones' at all which should be totally white.  Thanks to Carole and Cliff for pointing this out.

Nice to see Colchicum in such good condition! A sign of beautiful autumn weather in your garden without too much wind and rain.

Nice to see all these lovely Colchicums. My few in the garden look completely "beat up"by the wind and rain. Much like me really

It resembles the cv. 'Lilac Wonder' very much.
