Colchicum Waterlily

I got this bulb and one other package from my aunt for my birthday. I've tried colchicum before and it didn't come up. This time I put it in a large pot along with some spring irises. It just started coming up yesterday. It looks like I'll have 3 or more flowers. I also got lazy and potted up most of my other bulbs, wrapping chicken wire over the pots to keep out the squirrels.

Since the yard will be getting dug up a lot next spring I wanted to avoid having to move the bulbs again. All I have left is hyacinths, (and 263 bulbs to plant for my aunt).
