If Kathy Purdy lives in the USA, I could exchange Colchicum cultivars with her, including 'Pink Goblet'. Kathy, write to me privately if interested. The cultivar names given to Dutch hybrids are usually very boring, as she notes. Everything is a King, a Queen. a Beauty, or a Wonder. I think the darkest one I have here, among the large species and hybrids (there are dark ones among the miniatures too), is a particularly good form of C. bivonae, grown from wild seed. 'Disraeli' is pretty rich in color too.
