The pink flowers on the left are of Meadow Saffron (Colchicum autumnale).  The plant is sometimes also known as Autumn Crocus, a name it shares with the non-native Crocus nudiflorus.  However despite these two alternative English names it is neither a true crocus, nor is it a source of saffron, which comes from Crocus sativus, of middle eastern origin. In fact all parts of Colchicum autumnale are deadly poisonous.

An unusual feature of this plant is that the flowers emerge in early autumn in isolation, after all other visible parts of the plant, such as the leaves, have disappeared, hence another common name, Naked Lady.
