Autumn Crocus
Colchicum autumnale
41.2019, -3.5888
Field Notes
Description:
Lots of these pop out of the ground in small groups during September, when everything else is dying due to the hot, dry summer. After a few days they are gone again. I assume the green leaves may be part of the same plant.
Habitat:
Mountain airfield with scattered trees and bushes at around 3,700'. Sun-bleached arid ground with hardy thistles and other plants.
