Are you sure that is  Colchicum asteranthum, Mark ?    Looks a bit on the large side and where are the leaves?
The description also  mentions  that it has soboliferous corms, so you'd expect increase.....

Here are a couple of Colchicums from today.  Many labels are lost.

That's what my label says Maggi but I don't have any idea where it came from but would think it was either Janis or Paul Christian. Maybe I'll lift it The tube is now extended and is pale green

Kris:

Thanks,

I have a photo question related to those images.

When I lower the ISO when too much light is present the images take on a yellowish tint.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

Nice Colchicums, Arnold!
Try adjusting the 'white balance' of your camera according to the light. That could help.

Now the colors look more natural. By the way, a beautiful Colchicum!
