Autumn crocus
John Grimshaw (Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:44:50 PDT)

This looks to me like one of the Crocus serotinus complex, as indicated by
the multi-branched 'tufted' style, the coloration of the flowers and the
hint of new leaves.

Peter, it looks like 6 to me. I am not knowledgeable on these things, the
stamens look like frilly lace to me. And it looks like more than 3.

I said I have no crocuses, however, mine are Sternbergia and this
one, and neither are strictly crocuses. I would like to know what
this one is though. Is it a Colchicum? I don't think so.
