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. They’re elegant and demure, above the kind of flopsy behavior of their byzantinum cousins, but more able to compete for attention with the larger plants in the garden.
You want one, you know you do.
Stumble it!
