It's not a crocus at all!

Autumn crocus are also called 'naked ladies' as their flowers emerge without foliage.

Cup shaped flowers become flattened and star-like.

Foliage appears without flowers, during the spring into summer.

Foliage dies back in summer. In fall the flowers emerge without the foliage.

Comments: Each corm grows an abundance of foliage in spring that yellow and dies back in summer. In August and September, multiple flowers emerge from each leafless corm, hence their common name ‘naked ladies’. Avoid locations where they take center stage during the summer as their yellowing foliage is abundant. Grow in containers so you can place them where you want when they are in flower.  Reduce water when the foliage starts to yellow. Although their common name implies they are a crocus, however, they are not related.

Bees and other pollinating insects love fall blooming crocus.
