Colchicum bivonae is an Autumn flowering plant
that blooms from early September to mid-November
in mountainous regions (300-1300m) of Italy, the Balkans ang Greece
with the exceptions of Crete and the Cyclades islands.
Beautiful but also highly poisonous
due to colchicine existing in all parts of the plant:
the leaves, the flower and especially in the bulb.
