Luit - I've only just caught up with the Sternbergias. Wonderful! Has the identity  of  the cultivar 'Autumn Gold' changed?. In the UK it is distributed as S. lutea 'Autumn Gold'.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

Gerry, S. lutea angustifolia is re baptised into 'Autumn Gold' and probably registered by the KAVB,
which is the official Bulb Registrar. That all I can say about this.
All plants shown every week are taken up for the records and when a name is not right, it is
discussed by the Special Bulb Committee members.

Not so many plants this week but at least some interesting ones.
The first one is a very easy plant, propagating by seed, which you can see on pict. 2

Arthropodium candidum 1         
Arthropodium candidum 2           
Arthropodium candidum 3       

Lilium formosanum ssp. iwarense

Phaedranassa was grown from seed and this plant might be about 20 years old now.

Phaedranassa chloracea 1       
Phaedranassa chloracea 2       

Really a highlight of the show was an arrangement of Autumn flowering bulbs.
I show some details of the arrangement too

Armin, in the pretty flower arrangement, you forgot  to mention the snowdrops!  ::) ;)

This is the nicest collection of flowers I have seen in a long while!

The Arthropodium is a NZ native and one has to be really besotted with the concept of growing natives to bother with this little plant which can easily become a terrible weed from seeding about into everything. "Once bitten, twice shy."

I thought something like that Lesley.
But here, with our wet winters and in between hard frosts without snow, it is no problem.
It will not survive for long.

We should not forget the snowdrops in the center, where they belong of course. ;D

Hans, I googled a bit and found P. dubia and P cinerea pictures, which look the same as
the one I showed.
So I think the Committee will have some discussion about the naming soon.

I knew that at least a few of the Forumist would see the Snowdrop.
Or should I have put this arrangement into the Test Your Skill pages?
That would be to easy for most of you, won't it? ;D ;D ;D

Though not so many entries, there is always something very interesting
to see at she Showhall.
This week a vase with a beautiful Asclepias, a really white form of
Nerine bowdenii and a pan with an Araceae with seeds instead of flowers.
Hope you enjoy, like I did.
