I don't know if it is just this picture as opposed to the previous close-ups or that they just seem to have more vibrant color!? Sure wish that they would grow down in the hot, dry lands of TX. Thanks again for the TX link that you sent me. Kathy, these colchicum are the prettiest yet!

And don't be too sure that you can't grow colchicums in Texas. There are some colchicums that I can't grow because it's too cold here. Erica Bess Duncan lives in Texas, too, and on her garden blog (<a href="http://gardenspot.typepad.com/gardenspot/2003/10/crocus_question.html)">http://gardenspot.typepad.com/gardenspot/2003/10/crocus_question.html)</a> recommends the book Garden Bulbs for the South by Scott Ogden. Perhaps you will find some colchicums listed in this book. If not, go to Odyssey Bulbs and ask Russell Stafford for recommendations.
