Why glossophyllum, leaf like a tongue?

....Also Colchicum cupanii var bertolinii.  ....

Tony, it should be spelled bertolonii indeed. I guess it would be an Italian variety???
I don't know in what the several varieties of cupanii differ each other, to be honest they look al the same form me. I have seen a lot of plants in habitat here and it's a quite variable species in colour, from white to dark pink

Hi Angelo
I found some references on this plant from a French site, maybe S France and adjacent Italy?
I agree about the variation in these plants under the name C cupanii.  This one is a nice form, whatever it is called!

Colchicum montanum, raised from seed I collected in the Pyrenees in 1996.  A really dark form compared to the others I grow.  A comparison shot included.
Also Colchicum cupanii var bertolinii.  I lost the big pot full to the freeze at the end of 2010 but these in the garden are doing well.

What a great show Tony ! Stunning . It is a surprise to read that C. cupanii is hardy enough ....Did not found any hardy cupanii so far ... This is certainly a very fine form to .

Kris,

They're small and fleeting in many cases, and so many have foliage that is so large and out of proportion (and gets in the way of everything else).  The foliage doesn't bother me at all, but I have heard a number of people lament it.  I love them, particularly some of the smaller species.
