Colchicum & relatives 2016

[Michael J Campbell]

Can anyone identify this Colchicum,? I have lost the label.

First pic in sunshine, the second one in shade.

Found the label,   Colchicum neapolitanum var macranthum.

Colchicum atropurpureum
I bought a bulb from Paul Christian a long time ago.  The flowers were always streaky though the leaves looked ok and it grew and increased.  It has been seeding around and the seedlings look fine so I discarded the old bulbs this year.  the pics do not do justice to the rich purple colour.

Colchicum 'Jochim Hof'
Colchicum bowlesianum
Colchicum cilicicum x cedric morris
Colchicum 'Flamenco Dance'

[Yann]

really nice set, bowlesianum is quiet pale, is it an Apollo hybrid?

[Claire Cockcroft]

My colchicum "collection" is a mix of species, hybrids, and unnamed seedlings (that are most likely C. speciosum).  Here is a sample.

- C. 'Nancy Lindsay', always the earliest, with a nice dark pink perianth
- C. 'Glory of Heemstede'
- C. x agrippinum
- C. corsicum

Two more unknown colchicums.

I almost forgot the showiest: 'The Giant'

[ArnoldT]

Here's another unknown.

Labels long gone but bulbs remain.

Could be a "Giant" as well.

Heavy tessellation as well.
