Colchicum zahnii
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colchicum zahnii is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae.[3][4] It is native to southern Greece. It blooms in mid-autumn from rhizomatous corms. The flowers can be variable coloured, 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.[5]
