Scilla 2009
« on: January 15, 2009, 09:30:57 AM »
Scilla cilicica is starting to flower, photos taken during this week in my collection and in its natural habitat.

This early bloomer is a part of a program of saving a few species of bulbous plants from my area,  species that are on their way to extinction.
This S. cilicica from Mt. Carmel which I have started from 9 seeds 8 years ago.
 At the moment  I have allready more than 200 plants and in a year or too i am planing  to replant some back in the same place where seeds have been collected.

Is it hard enough for the northwest of Germany?
Or better inside a glasshouse?

Forgive me Maggi if someone has used this subject already, but I didn't spot it if so.  Here is a sweet little Scilla  ingridae that opened for me a couple of days ago.

A Scilla 2009 page was already opened, but in Flowering Now.... I have merged the two Scilla pages and brought them to Bulbs General.
