Colchicum Eucomoides

Colchicum eucomoides, also known as the European autumn crocus, is a striking perennial plant native to southern Europe and parts of western Asia. It thrives in woodland and meadow habitats, blooming in late summer and autumn with showy purple or pink flowers. The plant is notable for its toxic properties, containing colchicine, a compound used in medicine and research. Despite its beauty, it requires careful handling due to its potent alkaloids. This unique species offers both ecological value and scientific interest.
