Title: Colchicum identification
Post by: art600 on February 20, 2012, 07:24:28 PM

Can anyone assist by identifying this Colchicum from Turkey.  I only saw the one - it was growing near some Galanthus peshmenii.

I think I remeber the flower being slightly pinker than the colour here

 This is a C. baytopiorum. most importan feather is golden swollen filaments base. It is quıte comon in that region. Even we have found the white form of this baytopiorum.

Thanks Ibrahim

It looked so different from the normal baytopiorum we had seen
