Is it possible, that this is C. baytopiorum?
It is the only label of the genus neaby.

This fall a multi-petaled colchicum appeared a few feet away from 'Waterlily'.  I am concerned because some of its petals were streaky -- rosy lavender on the inside but white on the tips.  Other petals were either all white or all lavender.  Is this a sign of the "Meadow Saffron Breaking Virus" I read about on the web?  Like others, I have always assumed colchicums weren't likely to get viruses.

Thank you for any help you can give.

I'm not clued up on that virus, Claire, other than reading some items online - so I cannot say if that is what is affecting  your plants -  has anyone else more experience/ photos?

after 8 years after sowing, first bloom of Colchicum longifolium with nice white mark at the apex of tepal. It is always exciting to see the first time flowers

It's worth the long wait. A very nice species.

A biggish pot of Colchicum cupanii SL482. Obtained as a single bulb from Monocot Nursery around 15 years ago.

Slightly past its best today but wide open in the sun and has a wonderful honey scent.
