Looking forward to its bloom!

I saw two clumps blooming this week (in the garden).

Me too Karen, Just Wish I remembered Which one I bought....

I'll Pot it up Properly when it's done Flowering so that Mum can have it for Her Garden...

I Have Bought another, but is VERY Disapointed in the Bulb Size Difference.....

Beautiful! I love them with the spider lilies! Wish I can grow the spider lilies. I think they look so cool.

Very pretty Carol! I poked around and my colchicum has buds just poking out but obviously waiting on just the perfect time....

Thank you for the compliments, Karen and posierosie. The only drawback is that this time of year the garden becomes messy with leaves falling and earlier flowering plants dying back . And, it's been too hot and humid here!

Interestingly, I just finished reading a mystery where one of the victims was poisoned with colchicine, an extract from colchicum bulbs. I was aware that this was a treatment for gout (is that even a problem these days?) but was unaware it could be toxic if in a high enough dosage.

Actually several victims were killed off with plant poisons........but different poisons for different victims :-)

Death lurks in the garden.........!!

I watch Investigation Discovery channel and noted the " colchicine" vial in one of the promos, but did not watch that particular show. In autumn I email photos of my Colchicum in flower to my brother who has gout. That medicine works great for him. The bulbs are highly toxic but in tiny doses can do wonders. Similarly the toxic foxglove, Digitalis, is successfully used as a heart medication.

As of Just Now the 15th of September 2018

Any thought on what He could be?

Thanks Guys

They all look similar with the buds emerging.

Here's one that has just opened in the rain-soaked garden.

The buds must have opened by now! Let us see the flowers.

You are Right.....

They have but as it's been Forced the Flowers Haven't grown Propaly, There are So many Flowers But They are All on Really short stems.....

Should be better next year when Poteted up Properly
