autumn crocus colchicine Colchicum autumnale meadow			Byline: JILL LUCAS THE crocus found by Mr Watkins in Clayton Fields ("A flowering hope against development," October 23) is not, as he suggested, meadow saffron (Colchicum autumnale), but sutumnal crocus (Crocus nudiflorus). Letter: Mailbag - Crocus, not saffron by Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England) COLCHICUM Also known as naked ladies and meadow saffron, these dainty little additions to the autumn garden produce several clusters of violet, crocus-like, wine-glass-shaped blooms with leaves not appearing until the following spring. Best of the bunch; gardens by Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England) Naked ladies, more prosaically known as meadow saffron and scientifically identified as Colchicum autumnale, were formerly rare here and have probably been extinct as truly wild natives in County Durham for two centuries, but they do turn up from time to time as garden escapes.
