Congratulations Mauron, these Autumn Crocuses are our Spotting of the Day!
"We are celebrating the first day of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere with these beautiful Autumn Crocuses (Colchicum autumnale) as our Spotting of the Day! The autumn crocus is an autumn-blooming flowering plant resembling true crocuses. Unlike true crocuses which belong to the Iridaceae family, it is a member of the Colchicaceae family. The autumn crocus flowers emerge after its leaves have died back. Its bulb-like corms are toxic due to their colchicine content: https://buff.ly/2hmVLRB "
