A habitant of Armenia, grown in highland often near melting snow. Early spring flowering in Lithuania. I have seen plants flowering in late autumn, passed winter well with flowers and then continued flowering in the spring. So it is possible to say that they have exclusively high frost toleration. Prefers wet soils.

Colchicum bornmuelleri ARTUR KLARK
A clone of one unusual plant found by me among ordinary C. bornmuelleri. I think it is a sport with more striking flowers. They are bright purple with porcelain white bottom and white rims around outer petals.
It is not an albino form, but a form with very light colour of flowers so often in the first stage of the flowering the flowers have a purplish tint. In the full flowering flowers become snow white with delicate bright purple marks on the tops of petals and pistils. Wonderful!
Recently named and discribed species from Amanus mountains in Turkey. They grow well in outdoors in Lithuania and flower very long time in September-October.

Colchicum kesselringii SNOW OF HIGHLAND
Pure white flowers. Green part of the plant differs from C. kesselringii and looks like C. luteum. Possible it's a subspecies. It needs detail botanical research. Spring flowering.
The most distinct form of C. kesselringii (or may be no kesselringii). Nothing of common in the form, size and colour of leaves with true C. kesselringii. The flowers are white like the flowers of the plants above.

Colchicum laetum
Dutch garden clone. There is a big difference between these plants and true wild C. laetum grown in wild in N. Caucasus. Possible it is a nice form of C. cilicicum with very long petals. In any case they are plants of a special beauty flowering abundantly in autumn.
Raised by me. It has before the name "LARISA DOLINA", but since 2010 year I have registered this variety in KAVB as "LARISA", because had no rights to use the name L. Dolina without her personal permission. Softest pink coloured flowers, notable and striking even if you were looking from a distance to a flowering colchicum collection. There was not the same colour among colchicum hybrids. Autumn flowering.
The most floriferous autumn flowering hybrid I know (I was counted 20 flowers). Elegant flowers on very long tubes. Autumn flowering.

Colchicum POSEIDON (syn. JAROSLAVNA)
Has a presence of blue shade in purple coloring of flowers. So, the "sea" name is understandable. Janis Ruksans who has given me these bulbs now has came to conclusion that the priority name for this variety should be "Jaroslavna". Autumn flowering.
Flowers with striking checkered wide petals indicated that in the crossing was used C. bivonae. Flowers open widely. An excelent plant flowering relatively early in the first days of September.
With great effort step by step I was able to create a small stock of this rare plant from a single bulb. It is not too large Colchicum, but without any doubt it's avery large merendera. Flowering in the spring.

Colchicum umbrosum
A way to my garden was not easy for this plant. Twice I brought the bulbs from Caucasus and Crimea and had not success although I saw them in wild grown in very different places from dry slopes to boggy places. Although it is a sign of high adaping able of the species, third time only I could get a stabile garden population. Now my plants grow under trees in a relatively dry ground without lifting and every year show me a rich flowering.

Corydalis hyb. BOYAR
Everybody who grown corydalis in outdoors knows that capacity of many species for producing and spreading of very small seeds in abundance is a great problem, because for short time it can transform your garden to a wast corydalis plantation. Plants from the new group of hybrids C. kusnetzovii x C. decipiens created by me are sterile and have no seeds. Corydalis hyb.BOYAR is the earliest in flowering time in this hybrid group. This variety and all hybrids C. kusnetzovii x C. decipiens do not like a dry keeping.

I grow them successfully in semi shade on the spot with constantly wet ground without lifting and disturbing for many year. In this condition the plants propagate well with long stolones.
Crimean form of Crocus pallasii. They are very impressive plants with wide petals of flowers. Although botanists put these plants to C. pallasii pallasii they more remind otwardly of C. pallasii ssp. haussknechtii and like this are not easy in outdors in moderate climate zove. Need full sun and dry warm summer rest. Firts time in catalogue.
