I haven’t got any Colchicums in my garden hm…. big mistake, they are gorgeous especially the Colchicum autumnale ‘Alboplenum’. Got to put it on my wishing list.

Have a great weekend/ Tyra

Kathy — those colchicums are stunning. I keep intending to plant them but somehow never seem to manage it. Don't know what I'm waiting for when they look this good this late in the season. .-= LINDA from EACH LITTLE WORLD´s last blog ..Garden Bloggers Leaf Day: 10.15.09 =-.

I like that ‘Lilac Wonder’ colchicum! Really, you are the Queen of the Colchicums!

I love these every time I see them! I tried to grow some white ones but they weren't very happy here. Now that I think of it...they may be gone! .-= Leslie´s last blog ..GBBD October 2009 =-.

Colchicum autumnale 'Alboplenum' <-THAT IS so cool! My problem with bloom day is that I see all kinds of cool plants that I don't have and immediately want! Like colchicum! .-= Katie´s last blog ..Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day October 2009 =-.

Kathy,
Alas, your feed is still not working on Blotanical
I’m amazed that your colchicums are bloomin’… I didn’t realize they were so very cold hardy. How lovely to have them to enjoy after a freeze!

Joseph is right about the blue flower’s ID. I’m surprised it’s still blooming. Mine finished a while ago.
I just love all your Colchicums. What a gem each one is (well, except for the Mongrels, but they do looking smashing en masse). I think I need some white ones to grow under some Hostas. I’ll give you full credit for the idea.
