Colchicum zahnii

Colchicum zahnii is a member of the flowering plant family Colchicaceae that is native to southern Greece. It blooms in mid-fall from rhizomatous corms. The flowers can be variable colored, being a pale purple-pink to white and are often held wide open. The leaves are produced at flowering time and usually number 2 to 3. This species is similar to "Colchicum boissieri" in that the corms grow into large patches, rather than tight clumps like "Colchicum speciosum" or "Colchicum autumnale".
