Naked lady emerging from her bath.

they are lovely sea, i had some at last house but cant help with name sorry, ;o)

Such a pretty flower, I have one somewhere in a raised bed !

Pretty! They don't quite survive the summer here, but fortunately, Saffron Crocus does...I just have to figure out when to give it it's first watering! Too early, and they rot. Too late, and they don't flower. Decisions, decisions....

They're very pretty. I grew them without soil once but when I planted them later they just died off. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea. If I try them again I'll plant them in the ground first thing.

They're looking good SBG. The title of the blog attracted me more. LOL. :o))

Lovely photos, SBG! I've some I took in the Cambridge Botanical Gardens last week. I'm going to include them in a blog in a couple of days time.

I have grown them in water and successfully got them to produce leaf the following spring. you must have just been unlucky Hywell.

I felt the title might be a little more interesting than just colchicums and it obviously worked Littlelegs :o)

Thanks balcony, i delete well over half of the photos I take. comes from the old film days where I used to scrutinise the negatives before wasting expensive film paper.

Naked ladies indeed, trust the Victorians, they were obsessed, all that covering up piano legs... Don't remind me of naked ladies at all, but something quite other as they emerge...
Pretty colour

They are so beautifully shaped (and coloured) - a fine present for my birthday, if only I had looked then. But these are eternal... still good today, and they bear my birthday, else I might not have seen them.

I've only just spotted this one Sbg and 'lady in a bath' meant a different plant to me-- you know Dicentra --also known as 'dutchmans breeches' or 'bleeding heart' well if you gently turn the heart upside down and open the petals-- there she is!

yes Pam, ladies in the bath are dicentra to me too, colchicums were just known as naked ladies. I was a bit cheeky with the title to 'draw' people in to the blog.
thanks for spotting this. Its nice when items are found. :o)

i've colchicums under the magnolia and I onced asked my french friend co come see my 'naked ladies'-- her face was a picture.....

:o))
