What happens when your colchicum is happy and gets carried away!

What happens when they are happy.......they grow like mad, bloom prolifically, then the rain batters them flat. Maybe with a wider 'skirt' they will remain a little more upright.

Sue - I'm gradually surrounding them with forms of geranium sanguineum which will help to support the flowers.

That' interesting. Don't the leaves shade the geraniums in summer?

The leaves are dying back just when the geraniums need the sun.

These are so pretty. I am hoping they will work in Vermont. What a good idea, among the geraniums? Lovely pic.
