Hi Travis, good to see that someone is happy about colchicum - I find them a bit depressing - not for their beauty, but for their message, telling you that summer comes to an end. Actually, my employer has some hybrids planted around the main gate, and I'm used to tiptoe around that patch at this time of year pretending not to see ;-). Well, I got the message anyway last week, when my Cyclamen Hederifolium started flowering. We've got Colchicum Auntumnale occurring native around here, and sometimes in masses, which is quite spectacular, so it's hard really not to like them, despite the message.

The blooming Colchicum cilicicum is my pride right now, featuring prominently on the top of the post. Coincidentally it is almost invisible if you are just scanning the garden, being so diminutive that it is easily mistaken for a shadow of another plant! I also wrote about my little rock garden, my troubles with "interactions" between rodents and Alliums, and more.
