Mauve-flowered Greek colchicum ID'd by Oron as Colchicum cupanii

Is this colchicum pusillum?
It has been waiting to be identified by me since the 15th of October 2014.
It was growing in a field between Tripolis and Sparta in the Peloponnese.

I would say Colchicum cupanii which is very variable.

Oron,
Many thanks for the identification.
I see that I had already posted a photo of this flower.
