Yes it is, the sprinkling of purple, mauve and white colchicum through the grassy field is quite a sight! We walked past again yesterday, later in the afternoon this time – and they were glowing!

Wild now … the field appears to be owned by one of the Hughes family, he used to grow bulbs commercially (extended family of the owners of Blue Mountain Nurseries in Tapanui).
