Dylan:

I could see how this sets up a chicken or the egg scenario. When do you
start the observation when the flowers appear or when the leaves
appear. Depending on the perspective it could be either.

Do the flowers appear before the leaves in Colchicum or after the
leaves. Is there an accepted 'convention' to determine the beginning?
