Autumn Crocus

I think that Colchicums are the most amazing plants.


first comes this lush growth of leaves in June, something like giant Lily-of-the-valley leaves.Then at the end of June the leaves disappear entirely and nothing more happens until fall.

In September, along come these little beauties, taller than a crocus but enchanting.

I'm so happy to have made their acquaintance.
