Colchicum Emerging

Yesterday I noticed the first blossom tips of Colchicum emerging from
the ground. Until they flower I'm not certain whether they are C.
autumnale or C. speciosum. Whichever, they are - though another sign of
waning summer - welcome.

degrees Fahrenheit and the ground is dessicated as Hurricane Earl did
not deliver the longed for rain
