Thanks Rick. I erred slightly: this guy is not a crocus genus, it's a colchicum, but its common name is "autumn crocus". To further confuse things there are real crocus species that are autumn flowering.
For perspective, this bloom is the size of a regular tulip. Thank you everyone who commented or just had a look. On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 8:33 PM, Rick Womer <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow, Bruce.
