Will discovered the first flower yesterday! I think this is one of the Sternbergia sicula we raised from seed sent by Rannweig Wallis, originally collected in Crete,
cheers

Lovely, under Rosa rugosa. I like that rock too. We don't have any volcanic rocks like that around these parts.
-
Superb. It's nice to be able to grow directly in the garden. We merely the greenhouse at home.
-
Sternbergia fischeriana in a covered frame open to the weather. This has been in a state of stasis for past few weeks as we had cold weather temps of -10C to -23C
Two pictures from Feb27 added below

Strong plant, i'm always surprise how stenbergia can stand the cold weather...but not not mild
-
On Saturday Viv brought a large pot of Sternbergia lutea in bloom to our meeting; mine in the garden aren't even showing a nose!
cheers

Beautiful Fermi. Something else I fail with.
-
Nevermind, David,
I can't grow any of those wonderful primula that you can!
The good thing about the forum is that we can appreciate what others grow that we can't.
Here's more pics of Sternbergia sicula scattered around the garden,
cheers

Well I am surprised! Last year my little clump of Sternbergia (lutea I think?) threw one flower and it's done it again now with the possibility of a second. Mike Quest gave me the bulbs years ago (must have been 6 or 7) and never a flower until last year.
-
Hi David. Looks like S. sicula to me, lutea has more rounded petals and wider leaves.
My sicula now has leaves and a bud coming like yours. The lutea is probably
two weeks from appearing, maybe more. Check the PBS website.

Thanks for that John, you're probably right.
-
My Sternbergia sicula "Pantokrator" from Korfu starts to flower (2x) and a very small form from Crete - perhaps greuteriana
-
Sternbergia lutea MS 956- one with very large flowers
-
Duplicated thread Maggi.
Thanks David - sorted now.
-
Sternbergia graeca ex Connie Greenfield. Always the first to bloom in fall.
-
Ruben, whre did you get your sternbergia luta large-flowered one?
-
...and a very small form from Crete - perhaps greuteriana
Very similar, if not identical to what I grow as S. greuteriana.
-
Sternbergia sicula "Pantokrator" now flowering with an Iranian Colchicum.

Lovely sight, Herbert!

Stunning Herbert, really natural!
Zhiriar, i got the sternbergia from Kurt Vickery, UK collector
-
Sternbergia greuteriana (possibly).
-
This year I have my first Sternbergia lutea blooming. I must say that the bulbs were small when I bought them compared to this there.

Ruben have you Sternbergia the garden? Particulare precautions you take to their culture?
-
Sternbergia clusiana, from Janis :)
-
This is Sternbergia schubertii, received some years ago from ist re-discoverer Erich Pasche.
It seams to be shy flowering. I obtained a first flower after given the bulbs artificial heath.

The first time I have heart of Sternbergia schubertii. Maybe I have got this plant under the name Sternbergia colchiciflora and now I am waiting whether it will bloom this year.
Here is just the latter which flower sporadically.
Sternbergia clusiana is great, also the spiraled leaves. Mine don't like to flower since I have got them despite dry baking during the summer.
-
Gerd, I have discovered the picture from last year. Could this be Sternbergia schubertii?

Stefan,
Unfortunately I can't find the posting to the picture, the geographic origin of the species will be interesting.
Sternbergia schubertii is from sw Turkey.

Gerd, I bought it as Sternbergia colchiciflora, so no idea from where it is. Thx for the interesting article.
-
Sternbergia colchiciflora from another sowing has come into flower today.
-
10 years ago I planted some small bulbs of Sternbergia clusiana var. macrantha in my open rock garden. After a long waiting this year the first flower.

Great Ebbie, so I can hope that mine will still come into flower this year too. I suppose yours are at a hot place?
-

An update from yesterday. The plant is now very open compared with last week.
-
Leuco, yes, patience is the important virtue of the gardener. I hope, however, that I do not have to wait 10 years for the next flowering.
Sokol, it's not the hottest place. But the Sternbergie is planted elevated and results in a permeable substrate.
-
Sternbergia colchiciflora - I do not find particularly attractive, but an extraordinary flowering.

Is that it? Looks like an 'Ugly Sister' that should have looked in the mirror! ;D

You feel they are better off in the garden.
What do you especially to cultivate the garden? What are the important points to be observed?
-

He means he doesn't find the flower attractive, Fred - like an Ugly Sister in Cinderella !
-
Sternbergia var. Javotte or Anastasia ? :-X

They do well in the garden, no special treatment. I planted the bulbs around ten years ago and they come up every year.
-
I planted some bulbs this year in the new bed of lava stone. I hope they go as well as you.

;D Oui, les soeurs de Cendrillon - pas les plus belles!

Ian has planted some to grow "free" in the sand beds in the glass house - they are flowering there for the second year in a row - to our delight.
-
Yes Maggi,
I read in the bulb log diary. For a long time he wanted out of the pots.
