| 803_7818 [Colchicum bivonae] |
This colchicum blooms as soon as we have the first cold in Autumn. So, the fact that the flower above was the only one bivonae I found on my recent visit to Parnitha most probably indicates that cold weather is on the way! [Some sort of primitive Meteorological Service!!!]
Beautiful but the whole plant contains colchicine, a poison that Medea used to kill her children in Kolchida!
