This has been in flower since around Christmas. Colchicum hungaricum 'Velebit Star'. I presume that this can't be a registered cultivar as the flowers vary considerably in colour and most in cultivation appear to be seed-raised. I would love a pure white version though!

Colchicum kesselringii ‘My Choice’, from Lithuanian Rare Bulb Garden
It's not my choice ;D I think it's a very good form selected by the nursery owner, though.

Indeed Tatsuo!!!

A very rare one Colchicum goharae, armenian species also described as Merandera.
I had the surprise to find the tube splitted, styles are visible from outside.

It's very dark today and so windy, i don't think bulbous plants will deploy their flowers more next week.

First flowering of Colchicum szovitsii.  Seed from Gothenburg Botanic Garden. There is a third flower just showing.

That is lovely! How many years it took to from seeds to flower? I just sowed some C.szovitsii seeds in January. :)

Leena, the seed was sown in March 2013 and germinated in February 2014.  Another pot sown in 2014 also took a year to germinate and has one flower showing. So that is 5 and 6 years from germination.  I'm sure more diligent gardener who repots and feeds regularly could flower them quicker. The flowers look bigger in the photo than they really are.  It is a 7 cm pot.

The autumn flowering colchicums have started here:
1 & 2) Colchicum "Lilac Major" is likely to be a form of C. byzantinum
3 & 4) Grown from seed - Colchicum NOT sibthorpii

Another Colchicum byzantinum - this one was passed around as "Mrs Craig's colchicum" - she was one of the early members of the AGS Vic Group,
