Colchicum zahnii is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae.^[3][4] It is native to southern Greece. It blooms in mid-autumn from rhizomatous corms. The flowers can be variable coloured, being a pale purple-pink to white and are often held wide open. The leaves are produced at flowering time and usually number 2 to 3.
