apparently Wurmbea stricta is a colchicum relative from South Africa that enjoys damp peaty soil while in growth.
i have posted this elsewhere but thought it interesting compare to the regular colchicums.

Probably it would be one of my choice Tatsuo, if I could grow these splendid beauties.

The first Colchicum are flowering here in the garden. They are the first flowers this years, earlier than Galanthus and Crocus. As it is still rather cold, they don't open their flowers well.

Next two are starting to flower. One is from a bulb that escaped from a pot that I have re-potted last year. Till now I don't know what it is.

I have just inherited a DSLR camera, and am struggling to get to grips with how to use it. Some way to go if the quality of these pictures is anything to go by!

Let's see if my old point-and-shoot camera can produce better results.
