That's where all my Colchicums grow or are kept in pots. Those in pots come in while in flower and then go out again.

Ah, a Colchicum luteum that opens its petals. Do you grow these in pots outside too Mark?

Yes. Do yours not open? These were open today when I got home from work but I brought them in to open them further. They are on my display table facing south.

I have never seen luteum with its petals open. The one I had was so pitiful I killed it with neglect. :(

A colchicum flowering for the first time with me. It is small and delicate in flower.It is from Nemrut Dag in the SE of Turkey and I have been unable to decide which species it is. Jim in Delaware has sent me the latest keys but I have not yet recorded the corm tunics and so will have to investigate when repotting.

Fred is your C. luteum in the open garden? Maybe I'll plant mine out. Brilliant photo of Crocus baytopiorum in the Crocus thread.

Yes Mark,
It's in the open garden since many years, and it seems to be very happy.
I also have some in pot, in the frame, growing well.
