Colchicum tenorii

An Italian species...if you look closely, in this less than spectacular photo, you can see the charicteristic purple anther crooks.

Can't seem to find much on the internet about the habitat, which is disappointing as I've always liked biotype plantings and true to ecotype companion plantings when possible.

The rain is moving Eastward and warmer weather is in the forecast. Supposed to be back in the 80's by mid week.

Cheers,
Mark
