Once again a garden surprise

I had forgotten I had planted these Fall Blooming crocuses. They were hidden under the Crocosmia. After cutting the Crocosmia back about 6 weeks ago these little dudes were starting to do their thing and I never noticed. Colchicum corms are irregularly shaped and large — half the size of a fist. Sometimes called 'Naked Boys' because their leaves don't appear until spring, they thrive in well-drained soil. Unexpected Pleasures! I am so pleased I planted these last year.
