I just took off winter cover. Many colchicums started blooming below glass-whool sheets. As tonight I'm leaving Latvia for current crocus-trip - I can show only one from many blooming now -

A small contribution from the Southern hemisphere - where it's officially autumn!
Our first colchicum is one we got as "C. atropurpureum" - which I think is a form of C. cilicium,
cheers
