Colchicum
Colchicum speciosum, an autumn flowering geophyte (a generic term that includes bulbs, corms, and tubers). Flowering in late September, colchicum has lilac flowers that resemble a crocus on steroids. They are resistant to all types of plant-eating vermin, including deer, rabbits, woodchucks, mice and voles. While the flowers bloom in autumn, leaves do not make an appearance until spring, then go dormant in late June.
