This confused me too a few days ago when I spotted some the other day!

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one confused by this. I saw them hanging the washing out yesterday and commented to myself it was weird they were out again.

I just blamed it on climate change 😂 never heard of the thing before so thanks for the clarification!

It could be either an Autumn Crocus or a Colchicum. Crocus has three stamens, Colchicum has 6.
