Same colchicum flowers again but later in the evening this time. We were walking here last night, sun had almost set and the field of blooms glowed in the end-of-day low light. The lovely glow didn’t come out in the photos so I’ve done my best to compensate, playing around with brightness/contrast and bumping up the saturation more than I usually do.

I think I’ve achieved an idea of the glow of the colchicum but had to settle for the trees and sky looking darker than they really were.

I have only seen these flowers by themselves, never in such a large cluster. The effect is gorgeous, Liz. The fact that you get to see them at this time of year in the southern hemisphere is a good reminder of why they are called “Colchicum autumnale.”

That would be fun Ellen but sadly it would wreck many blooms! It’s private property however I love how you’ve viewed it as a purple runway!!
