Here in Delaware near the Delaware Bay, Colchicum cilicicum is blooming rather more spectacularly than in the past few years, but at virtually the same time, mid-September on. It is always the first Colchicum to bloom in my garden, with others species following.

I have just planted C. cilicicum in August and it's not blooming for me yet. I was under the impression that C. cilicicum was one of the last to bloom. Do the other colchicums in your garden bloom before it?
