I have added a few photos to the wiki of colchicums seen in the wild. The most interesting no doubt is Colchicum sanguicolle: <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/…>http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… I had never heard of this species, but it is an attractive one of the small-to-medium size range. The name means "blood-red neck," so this must be the redneck colchicum. The name refers to the prophyll (sheathing leaf), which sticks up a little above the soil around the floral tube and is indeed a striking, shiny deep red. I saw it in three sites in southwestern Turkey. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
