If your colchicums are only beginning to bloom, Jim, you obviously need to
augment your collection <grin>. C. bivonae 'Apollo' has been in flower for
2 weeks, with C. bivonae hybrids such as 'Princess Astrid' following close
on its heels (many hybrids debut in the last week of August or
so). Colchicum speciosum 'Ordu' is also well into bloom. If you were able
to grow C. graecum (which I would think would be a possibility), your
colchicum season would start in early August (other species reputably
flower even earlier, but I cannot personally attest to this).
