Title: Colchicum (Merendera) ID
Post by: Martinr on August 18, 2015, 07:53:15 PM

Hi all, a fellow grower got the plant shown as Colchicum kurdicum but I'm not sure the colour fits that description. Anyone care to confirm it or suggest an alternative identification.

Is this a current picture? as Colchium kurdicum is a snow melt plant, flowers in spring.

Photographed this week so not C kurdicum. The plot thickens!
