Buds of the first of this season's colchicum are up; these are from a plant received last autumn as the cultivar 'Disraeli' and not yet proven.

Jim McKenney Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, where an overnight soaking in a deep pot of water the other day has brought a pot of Zephyranthes grandiflora into bloom again.
