This Sternbergia sicula has a shape unlike any others that I have seen in Crete, it originated from the village of Afrata and increases at a very good rate.

John and I obviously visited the same taverna, the Kali Kardia (Good Heart) taverna in Afrata. When I admired the Sternbergia the owner promptly went out and picked a large bunch for my table!

Interesting. One, extremely variable species.

I was given some Sternbergia earlier this year called 'Molly Dawson's Late Flowering' - they are flowering now.

Arthur I sent Hans J one of mine and it is also in flower with him now so it must be this clone.Clearly from what you say there are others as well.

Perhaps I will call mine Tonys late Flowering,perhaps not.

Thats a nice plant Tony, a good strong colour and a large flower. It will be interesting to see when it flowers next year.

Today i went to the Southern part of the Golan Heights close to the Jordanian border in order to see a good population of Crocus cancellatus.
Surprisingly there were still some sternbergia clusiana in bloom, some are growing with Cyclamen persicum var. autumnale.
