Some plants with rose lilac flowers was found by me among Ch. luciliae ALBA. Probably it's a result of free crossing of different Ch. luciliae varieties.
Flowers are large with wide petals of cobalt blue color. Suppliers inform that it is spontaneous hybrid without information about parents. For the first time in my catalogue.

Often in the first stage of the flowering the flowers have a purplish tint so it is not an albino form, but a plant with very light color of flowers. In the full flowering the flowers become snow white with delicate bright purple marks on the tops of petals and pistils. Wonderful!

Colchicum hungaricum VELEBIT STAR
Antoine Hoog's is first supplier of this popular spring flowering plant native from Velebit mountains. It is not a clone so plants with light rose flowers are possible under the same name, but the plants I have got from Antoine have pure white flowers.
A lovely plant constantly in great demand. They grow in wild around all Central Asia often with big conglomeration, although are rare in gardens because of specific condition of growing. Offered plants are native from Kirgizia. After long interruption.

Colchicum soboliferum
A tiny plant with stick shaped bulb disposed in the soil in horizontal position. So planted one time it one point they conquers step by step new spaces and after some years they form a nice flowering spot in your garden.
This unusual plant gives a possibility to propose that it is a natural hybrid C. kesselringii x C. luteum, because have signs of both ones, but after some expedition when I saw enough of natural hybrids of this pare I can be sure: it is absolutely distinctive plant needed good research. So I move this one in the section of my catalogue "Spring flowering species".

Colchicum hybrids autumn flowering

Colchicum ANTARES
Flower next to fully white inside with rose tops of petals. Outside rose. It is first in the flowering time among autumn flowerig hybrids ans starts in the middle of August yet. So the dormant period is relatively short.
As descendant of C. bivonae has strong checkering of the petals. It reminds of famous "Glory of Heemstede" but bottom of flowers is pure white and petals open more wide in sunny time.
Created by me. Has large bulbs and large flowers. This hybrid has the brilliant green tubes of flowers - a nice contrast with intensive purple coloring of the petals! New introduction.
Raised by me. (Colchicum DICK TROTTER x Colchicum speciosum ORDU). Striking purple flowers with green tubes! Petals are narrow and long. Registered in KAVB in 2010 year.
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. Has softest pink colored flowers, notable and striking even if you were looking from a distance to a flowering colchicum collection. There is not the same color among colchicum hybrids.
There is 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".
A new hybrid C. luteum x C. SNOW OF HIGHLAND, which differs from variety below with darker spots near base of petals. A few.

Corydalis BOYAR
A hybrid C. kusnetzovii x C. decipiens. Everybody who grown corydalis in outdoors knows that capacity of many species for producing and spreading very small seeds in abundance is a great problem, because for short time it can transform your garden to a corydalis lawn. 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 from this hybrids.
Raised by me. Exclusively rich flowering hybrid C. kusnetzowii x C. dicipiens. Sterile. Bright color of flower lips gives an impression that leaves are covered with drops of wine.
My colleagues from other countries write me that this subspecies is not popular among crocus lovers because of a very poor flowering. Think the population which was a source of the garden clone is not the best. This clone grows excellently and shows me a rich flowering every autumn
