Always enjoy seeing Colchicums, thanks for sharing. Just a few from me:
C. bivonae 'Disraeli' taken a couple of weeks ago, now over.
C. autumnale - a nice dark colour
C. tenorei
C. speciosum 'album'

A colchicum species in Kos, Greece. Seems to be thriving on a dirt track towards the coast. Beautiful!

I love  how  neat  these  plants are  in their  native  habitat - here in North east  Scotland they tend to get  very  leggy and  then blow  over  in the  wind  and  rain and  are  even easier  for the  slugs to  devour.  :'(
