Colchicum Emerging
J.E. Shields (Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:32:56 PDT)

My first small clump of Colchicum, C. cilicicum, came up last week, just as
the slightly cooler weather started. None of the other clumps of cilicicum
have showed any signs of color yet.

This morning, one lone bud of C. byzantinum is up. None of the others are
showing anywhere.

C. speciosum is the last to bloom for me.
