A few Colchicum flowers - unknown cultivar obtained in 2007 from Ian and Maggi

Beautiful!
Then I would like to see your bed with many Colchicums!

In my humble opinion, the best form of C autumnale is 'Nancy Lindsay'.  It usually starts with me in late August, this year presumably because August was relatively dry, it is late and only just getting going now.  I started with 2 corms 10 years ago, now I have 3 big clumps.

Colchicum byzantinum 'Innocence' - white flowers with just a tiny bit of pink at the tip of each petal.  This started also with 2 corms 10 years ago, and has only multiplied to this extent.  Oddly, one corm at the far left reverted to pink some years ago, and this year another flower (back left in group) has a pink patch on one petal.

'Nancy Lindsay' is indeed very lovely - that transition from the pale lower tube up  through to  the darker floral base and throat is most attractive.
