    Hello all,
    Please could someone identify this plant pictured for me? It's just come up in the last couple of weeks at a voluntary project I work at, and I have no idea what it is (looks lovely regardless). Thanks in advance :)

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner Acather,
    that pretty little thing is Colchicum Autumnale. A shallow bulb that blooms without leaves in Autumn, but produces shiny leaves in late Spring - but no flowers then.
    Hope you enjoy having a stroll around the forum,
