This is Colchicum atropurpureum
some more Colchicums
I had a 'Waterlily" last fall but it didn't come back this year. All my other bulbs/corms/etc. did. I suspect I just wasted $4 for one bloom.
Nice photos, Mark. Thanks for keeping us abreast of what's available and looks great!
Darius it could be because you planted it late in the season. Colchicums root before the flower grows so yours was under pressure to flower. It could take it to this time next year to start flowering on a regular basis. Feed it well with dilute tomato food next spring once a week until the leaves start to go over
Thanks, Mark.
