Colchicum byzantinum is a species with a long history of cultivation, and no certain place of origin, which means it could be a hybrid of other species.
It shares many traits with Colchicum cilicium. The flowers have no scent and are light pink with a prominent central white stripe. Each petal has a purple tip, even white selections. This plant is very reliable in gardens.[1]
