Thanks for showing the Sternbergia Oron, I still think its amazing that you can be photographing in the Golan Heights in the morning and we can enjoy them later in the day on a cold rainy evening in England.

Oron,

It is real nice to see Clusiana in nature!

We have had a frost free November in Denmark and the St. lutea still flowers. This photo was taken in the last days of November.

I have another form of lutea in the open garden which are very late this year. As there still were no sign of them some weeks ago I thought they have been destroyed by the narcissus fly grub, as many of my others Sternbergia. I therefore decided to dig them up to kill the grubs to minimise future attach's. But the bulbs were all healthy! Apparently they had not had enough heat and dryness in the summer followed by some cooler weather to wake them up. I have to admit that they are not placed in the warmest part of the garden.
And as they normally has very few flowers, I decided to pot them, so I can give them a hot summer bake.
