Blooming in Westfield
J.E. Shields (Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:49:06 PDT)

The Colchicum atropurpureum is slowly increasing in flowers. It is by far
the last colchicum left blooming here. The Sternbergia lutea are
approaching full bloom now as well. And finally, the 6 Crocus nudiflorus
corms I received from Jane in 2004 (Jane, we are going to miss your surplus
bulbs badly!) are starting to flower, and seem to have increased to 8. Cr.
nudiflorus I've had previously never bloomed and eventually disappeared
completely.

I was quite surprised and delighted to see the nudiflorus blooming
yesterday, as I had completely forgotten about them. Thank you, Jane!

Pictures of these flowers will eventually show up in my blog at:
