Tanks Paul :D

Last night there was one flower opened and today, by afternoon another one has opened.
They are so beautiful, so delicate, so little comparing with P.maritimum.
I've already photos, but there is some problem, I can not put them from the camera to the pc. As soon as I can, I'll post them here.

I agree with Paul, Cris, and your photos show the flower really well.  Wonderful for the bud to open into something so special  :D

Well done Chris. Might be worth trying this, seeing as I fail repeatedly with maritimum!

Hi David, tanks, they have been grown with much caress ;)

Bulbissime, yes, it may take a while until they flower. I've also a few sedlings and they are so litlle :o
even the color of the leaves are diferent to the adult plant (more greyish).

Anthony Darby, don't worry, it's you and me failling with maritimum. By now it seems they are growing the leaves, but no flowers at all. And if they did not appeared, now, just to next year :'(if we are lucky.

By now is still just one flower opened, and maybe it will set seeds, but no sure.
Until now  10  flowers opened :D

Cris,

So it's already had 10 flowers on that single scape.  Wow.  Do they open progressively, or are there a number of them open at the one time?  I figure that looking at your original picture, they look like there are a few there that should be open at the same time.  Wish me luck with Pancratium maritimum..... I've recently purchased it for my garden too.  Hopefully I manage to flower it one of these years.
