Colchicum baytopiorum

Colchicum baytopiorum is a plant species native to western Turkey and to the Greek island of Rhodes (although possibly extinct there).

[1][2] It has small, bright pink-purple flowers measuring 4 cm (1.5") across.

It is unusual in the genus in producing small leaves in autumn while in bloom, as opposed to producing leaves in spring.

[4] The species was named in honor of Turkish botanist Asuman Baytop.
