Dear All: Brian Mathew says that L. autumnale is about 4-6" tall, L. autumnale v. oporanthum is about 10" tall, while L. autumnale v. pulchellum produces its leaves and flowers at the same time. All of mine are in bloom now. I would agree that v. oporanthum is much taller, but the v. pulchellum doesn't look much different than the type. In my plants, though, v. pulchellum doesn't have quite as much pink to the flower or the stem. Diana Telos Rare Bulbs
