A pleasing light color, Luc. Cool

Do you know what makes it a new species?

This one is related to C. lingulatum that grows on higher habitats (500-2300 m).
Botanically speaking there are differences in leaf shape and in the number of flowers on a bulb (2-5 for C. lingulatum - 1-2 for C. sfikasianum).

A first flower for this season on one of the plants in the C. cupanii complex. These suffered a lot during last winter with a lot of dead one's as a result.
Colchicum cupanii var. pulverulentum from Zaghouan Tunesia.

The petals almost look pleated.   

Are my eyes tricking me?
