Talk:Colchicum autumnale

Untitled

It would be so adult to have most plants under their scientific name, with redirects. Many of the "unCommon" names are bogus inventions to sell plants, with no "folk" authority at all. --Wetman 13:05, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Need territory/climate section

Toxicity and antidotes

It isn't accurate to say there is no antidote to Colchicum poisoning; various PubMed articles such as refer to anticolchicine monoclonal antibody as a specific therapy and to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor as a supportive treatment for the pancytopenia that results from colchicine poisoning. Unless I hear arguments to the contrary, I intend to update the article with (some of) these references to the medical literature.

Common name

Isn't "naked lady" the common name for flowers of genus Amaryllis? I've never heard this flower called a "naked lady" before. Maybe somebody got confused because they look similar; or perhaps any flower that has foliage dying back and fall blooms can be called a "naked lady". Research is needed; but AFAIK only Amaryllis is "naked lady". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.139.194 (talk) 22:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
