CBG Colchicum byzantinum Byzantine meadow saffron 2010-09-25.jp

Lovely....a shame that the heads are too heavy for the stems....I was reading about them the other day and naturally they would grow in grassland...so the heads would be supported.

Quite true but they are also coming to their end & in another week they will be gone until next year :-(( The photos I got of them 10 days ago were much better as they would have been in their prime then. :-))
