Flowering in my bulb house now is a middle-sized Colchicum which I once grew from seed received under the name "Colchicum liparichoides." This name (to my astonishment) does not exist anywhere within the reach of Google, where invalid plant names abound. Its well-rounded white flowers do not resemble those of the other white colchicums now in flower, which are all smaller and with narrower tepals. It in fact resembles a half-size version of the popular garden selection 'Innocence', long grown as "Colchicum byzantinum album." I suppose it might be a white form of some normally pink species, but I don't see any pink ones of similar size and tepal width in flower right now. Has anyone else encountered this name?
