So far, I’ve posted dew- & fog-catching plants from the asparagus family, but other families also evolved ways to supplement their water budget with fog & dew. Here’s Colchicum circinatum ssp circinatum (📷: juddkirkel CCBYNC4) in the Colchicaceae. #Colchicaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Large-flowered bellwort (Colchicaceae: Uvularia grandiflora) is native to eastern and central North America. It can be found in broken shade of damp woodlands. The nodding flowers attract a variety of bees, and the seeds are distributed by ants. Zaleski State Forest near Athens Ohio, 02 May 2014.

Colchicum autumnale is famously hysteranthous. Leaves emerge in the spring, remain until mid-summer, then die to the ground. The flowers don't appear until autumn. 📷: m.m.v. CCBY2 #hysteranthy #Colchicaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Autumn crocus are in full bloom in our garden. These are not a true crocus but a member of the Colchicaceae family. They are lethally toxic, but lovely just the same. #GardeningFeed

Gloriosa superba (#Colchicaceae) also goes in for lepidopteran wing pollination. It’s also a “revolver flower”—the pollinator must rotate around the flower to collect nectar from each of 6 nectaries. While foraging, it will pick up pollen & hit the stigma. #pollination #Lepidoptera #botany 🌾🧪🌱

It's nice to see burned patches in the gorse shrubland (Genista hispanica occidentalis); it allows us to see a rich geophyte flora: Erythronium dens-canis (Liliaceae), Narcissus minor asturiensis (Amaryllidaceae), cf Colchicum montanum (Colchicaceae)

Diese wunderschöne Blüte einer Ruhmeskrone (Gloriosa superba) entdeckte ich als Zierpflanze in einem Vorgarten in der Karibik😍
Sie gehört zur Familie der Zeitlosengewächse (Colchicaceae) und enthält das starke Gift Colchicin, wie unsere Herbstzeitlose.

Uvularia sessilifolia | sessile bellwort, wild-oats 🌿

there are four genuses of Spring ephemeral plants that have this kind of arcing, lily-like growth form, but this is my second favorite flower, a small buttery lily-looking that hangs down for the bumblebees

Dit is een Herfsttijloos. Kwam de bloem dinsdag ook tegen.
Verschil met krokus: De bloem lijkt op een krokus, maar herfsttijloos hoort bij een andere familie (Colchicaceae) en heeft zes meeldraden in plaats van drie

Saffron is harvested from Crocus sativus. They are a different genus, but look remarkably similar. Crocus are part of the Iris family of plants, whereas Colchicums are part of the Colchicaceae family. The Colchicum’s common name, “meadow saffron” is very misleading. sarasaffron.com/saffron/

🌺 Ateş Lalesi Nedir? Özellikleri ve Yetiştirme Rehberi
Alevleri andıran kırmızı ve sarı çiçekleriyle dikkat çeken Ateş Lalesi (Gloriosa superba), bahçe ve balkonlarda yetiştirilebilen en sıra dışı süs bitkilerinden biridir. Adında “lale” geçmesine rağmen bildiğimiz Tulipa türleriyle aynı cinsten değildir. Ateş lalesi, Colchicaceae (Acıçiğdemgiller) familyasına ait, yumrulu ve tırmanıcı karakterde bir bitkidir. İngilizcede Glory Lily, Flame Lily, Climbing Lily gibi isimlerle de bilinen bu gösterişli bitki, özellikle kıvrılarak geriye doğru açılan çiçek yaprakları sayesinde adeta küçük bir alev görüntüsü oluşturur.
