You have probably already guessed that Harlequin is the English translation of ‘Harlekijn’, and upon viewing this very uniquely colored and distinctly shaped Colchicum it is easy to see how it comes by its name. The petals are bi-colored; the lower half to two-thirds of each is a vibrant pinky-purple with their tips being white. These white portions roll inward forming a sort of tube (quilling is the official term) giving the bloom the appearance of a court jester’s hat. You’ll never say you can’t tell one Colchicum from another after observing this flower. Precious few to sell in 2023. Mid to Late Sept.
