| 801_1402 [Colchicum atticum] |
For many decades this Colchicum was considered endemic to Attica but it was eventually found in other locations in Greece, as well as in Southern Bulgaria and Asia Minor.
It is interesting to note that it stands out from the other colchicums by the fact that its tepals are divided along their entire length. It loves stony areas and appears from November to December reaching 3 to 6 cm in height.
It is also known as Merendera attica.
It was photographed on Mt. Penteli in Attica, Greece in the month of November.
