Colchicums late Autumn / early Winter 2006
Paul T:
What disturbs me is that I've only been on here 6 days or so and I'm already up to 65 posts. At this rate my fingers will drop off!! :o
Gerben:
Here is my first message on the new Forum. I hope I succeed.
Even here in Sweden is the winter getting to be a spring. Strange feeling to see these bulbs in flower in the darkness of December. We get a lot of attention from the media because of early spring, a sort of positive site affect.
Now some pictures of Colchicum brachyphyllum OS1033 and a with form OS1030. The third is a nice white Colchicum atticum collected by Karin and Jimmy Persson (Gothenburg)
DaveM:
Hi Gerben, and greetings from East Lothian. I was in SW Turkey in early November and there were at least 8 species in flower then. Until recently I hadn't realised there were quite so many autumn and winter species of Colchicum. Perhaps you'd say a little more about these examples you post.
Cheers

Kees Jan:
I'm attaching some pics of Colchicum confusum, photographed on Mt Parnassos last September. This was a large population and the plants were quite variable - some had very narrow tepals. I'm also attaching a picture of the habitat (a polje).
