Find Your Ask The Expert: Can you tell me the name of this plant? She blooms every summer. Usually has long grassy foliage, but this year the most flowers ever! I’ve had her for years as she just showed up in my yard and I dug her up and potted her. -Rochelle
Flower Shop Network Plant Expert Reply: I have had a hard time identifying the plant, but I believe the plant you have is a Colchicum cilicicum purpureum. Sometime referred to as as an autumn crocus, which usually bloom in the fall. I don’t understand why it is blooming now. Is the pot kept in the house year round? If so this could explain the unusual blooming time.
I hope this information was helpful. Please let me know if I can assist with anything else.

I don’t know if it is important after such long time, but it is not Colchicum Cilicicum purpureum.
Look at the stem, it looks different.
I am sure, it is Zephyranthes rosea – a genus from family Amaryllidaceae.
