Re: colchicum.

I'm still waiting. Of course, I have never had them before, and have no idea what triggers their bloom. Is it temperature, moisture, or just time since original dormancy?

I have some coming up, too. I never really get used to their simple beauty.
Have grown them for years and they still take my breath away.
What surprised me was that I just noticed that my Sternbergia lutea are
back. They're not supposed to be hardy here, but I got some a couple years
ago from Peter and even with the rough winter we had they are back for their
third appearance.

Wednesday, my first colchicum bloomed...it is tulip-like, according to
my husband...and a pale violet...very pretty. Thanks so much for the
introduction and sharing.
