Wait! Don't close the page. There really is nothing wrong with this picture. The flowers shown in these vases are colchicums (also called autumn crocuses), and they will actually bloom without soil or water. If you haven't bought these fall-blooming bulbs yet, it's not too late. Try some, and then when the delicate flowers begin to fade, plant the bulbs in full sun to get a repeat show every fall. Best choices for this funky double hit include Colchicum speciosum and Colchicum cilicicum. Be aware that forcing the bulbs may make the blooms a lighter color than what's shown in catalogs.
