Brook asked: One of the >Colchicums I see has very narrow tepals, 3/8" wide (what is that, >~7mm?). I'm accustomed to seeing wider tepalled Colchicums. The >flowers are not doubled as in 'Waterlily', but have tepals reminiscent >of that plant. It may be simply C. autumnale, the normal form from which 'Waterlily' is a sport. Other commonly grown colchicums with narrow tepals include C. cilicicum, C. x agrippinum (which is heavily checkered), and C. laetum. For a common garden plant in Seattle, the most likely are C. autumnale and C. cilicicum. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon
