Colchicum bornmuelleri, often called Autumn Crocus, sends cup-shaped flowers up on naked stems in the fall. Foliage that looks like hosta leaves follows in spring.
It naturalizes as a long-term perennial bulb and improves each year. Flowers can even appear without soil.

Didn't expect much this late in the year, but these were lovely.
