Colchicum sfikasianum flowers from September to November, while its leaves appear in Spring.
It is endemic to S. Peloponnese, to Mt. Hymittos and to some Ionic islands
where it grows in stony and rocky places mainly at heights of up to 500 m.
 
It is also called "Colchicum polymorphum"
as it comes in a variety of color shades as seen in the pictures above.
 
All pictures were taken on Mt. Hymittos on September 13, 2022
