I drive by these colchicums every day when I pass through the Gotelli Collection

These are just some of the amazing companion plants in this collection. I've also enjoyed the Agastache all summer. I stopped at the Library this morning and of course, their colchicums are flowering as well. Hedychium 'Elizabeth' is too but two of the spikes were broken off. I stuck them in the ground; it's so wet it ought to function as a vase. That's the thing though about waiting all year for a plant and then having something happen....I'll never forget Henry Mitchell and his lamentations about German Iris and rainstorms.
