I suspect some guerrilla gardening has resulted in these Colchicum autumnale (meadow saffron, autumn crocus, fog crocus, meadow crocus, Michaelmas crocus, upstart) flowering by the roadside. This is a cormous herbaceous perennial which flowers in the autumn and the large leaves will appear in the spring.

Crocus cultivars and Galanthus woronowii (green snowdrop, Woronow's snowdrop) are flowering in a small meadow. The snowdrop is native to north-east Turkey and the Caucasus and has distinctive glossy, fresh green leaves.
