Colchicums lighten the garden as we move into winter. I have quite a collection. These are not in any order because I'm no authority but 'Purpureum', 'Byzantium', 'Autumnale' and 'Dick Trotter' are shown flowering today. They were photographed in pots but are now planted in the borders and mixed in with daffodils, snowdrops and spring flowering crocus. Friends dropping a parcel off this afternoon commented on the size of the front garden now the central bed is missing but had most to say about the autumn crocus. When flowers are so flamboyant at this time of year their membership of the lily family is clear to see.
