Hello; a down-the-street neighbor had plants blooming in September that
were about 4-6" tall (more or less), of an extremely vivid magenta-pink.
They were planted en masse, partially in light shade and otherwise in sun.
The color was so brilliant it caught my eye from a block away. Are these
colchicums? In the catalogues, the colors always appear to be pastels.
