Autumn crocus, or Meadow Saffron (Colchicum autumnale). Notice how there’s no green bits? The flowers come out in the autumn, after the leaves have died away, giving them this eerily beautiful appearance. Took this in the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin last year. They are super rare in Ireland and are classed as “critically endangered” on our Red Data list of Irish Plants. -- source link
