The colors of Colchicum flowers

Unlike you, I have found the best time to photograph to be on slightly
overcast
days, when the flower is evenly lit; the colors stay put; and don't
overwhelm.
But that's a personal preference.
Agreed with the caveat that we find morning light best and no in camera
processing of the image color and then processing with one of the color
curves we keep on that image to compensate for the CCD's quirks. Bracket
each image 1/2 stop under and over.

Smallest Massonia in bloom...pygmaea from Penroc seed about 3m across and
pustulate. Very high cute factor. Early forms of Lach quadricolor in
bloom now as is L. congesta and the better forms of L. viridiflora
