What IS that Oxalis? Is it O. acetosella?

Despite the cold weather, merendera jolanthae is flowering now in the cold bulbhouse.
This merendera is a small plant (max. 10 cm high) from stony hillsides in the mountains of
Turkmenistan.

Very nice Colchicums Fred!
Third flowerer of the year for us, what we are growing as Colchicum trigynum.

Hello,

Here some pictures of Colchicum hungaricum from locus classicus in southern Hungary (slides are from 6th February 2010). It is the only place in Hungary where Colchicum hungaricum was described. Unfortunately we did not see a lot of flowering plants this day (due to the unfavourable weather we had all the day there) but we noted that all plants we saw in this locality were only with snow-white colours. Igor & Pavlina.

Welcome and any thanks for posting, it's great to see familiar plants from their locus classicus. Informs us on how we may best approach the culture of the species.

Great to see C. hungaricum actually flowering in Hungary - even if the snow has to be removed first...  ;D :D

A colchicum from Nemrut Dag in Eastern Turkey a super mountain for flowers. Most people visit to see the tomb of King Antiochus and the statues with the  fabulous stone heads which are over two metres high. These have been shaken of the bodies by earthquakes but are still impressive.
