I just received some bulbs/twigs of Colchicum minutum in the post. For reference the portion of label showing is 3" long x 3/4"

Here is some information
A new offering of this rare Southern Turkish endemic species released for the first time only last year. Three to four thin leaves are borne with the flowers in January and February. The flowers are slender and starry, and have a lovely pale pink colouring that, unusually for the genus, intensifies in the throat. The filaments are pink as well, bearing anthers that yield golden pollen. Known since at least 1958 but named only in 1999. This makes a curious, elongated curly, wiggly bulb.
