| | There is only one colchicum still blooming, and that is 'Waterlily.' She is always the last, and often looks the worse for it, because usually by now we've had continual hard frosts for most of October, and this has been a wonderfully mild autumn. | | | This is the white form of Colchicum speciosum which, just as with the white form of byzantinum, is called 'Album.' Like the typical speciosum, the flower is taller and larger than the typical byzantinum, and not nearly as generous with its blossoms, at least this year. | | | The little Colchicum flowered under the snow as the ground hadn't frozen when the snow came and it was good & warm under there--and there is quite a bit of light through the snow for the first foot or so. |

| | Mathew says " So, unless new field studies of the colchicums in this area indicate otherwise, the situation is that the excellent plant which is being distributed as C. pannonicum appears to be a very nice color variant of the very widespread C. autumnale." 5. | | | ANSWER: I would leave the note, because apparently there are several of these purple-tubed C. autumnale forms around, and I'm told the form is common in the wild in certain areas. | | | Colchicum major I can't find, but I can find Colchicum autumnale 'Major'. |
