Hi Ian,
My camera for the last few years has been the Lumix DMC-TZ60 and I think you've learned to use yours better in a couple of weeks than I have in the years since I got mine  :-[
cheers

Thanks Ian. I was interested to see your photo of the appendages on the Sternbergia flower and have just checked my lutea and 'greuteriana', the flowers are somewhat passed their best and it is not really obvious if they also have them.
There is some discussion regarding these over at the Pacific Bulb Society, on Amaryllis belladonna - known as 'cohering keels';

Thanks for this information and the link Gail, I am always interested to read what other peoples observations are.
The other Sternbergia have rudimentary attachments but they are nowhere near as noticeable or structured as those on  S. clusiana.

Not even days of dark clouds, rain and wind can stop the Bulb Log - you can always find colour and interest in the garden.

I enjoyed tremendously, the colour ranges in your logs the last two weeks.  It was the same wind, darkness and rain here in central Ontario, Canada until snow covered the changing fallen leaves several days ago. And thank you for the Bulb Log video to show and listen to the complete situation of your fantastic gardens. Many ideas sprout.

Thank you for your kind comments Sharon, it is fascinating how our gardens can be so far apart geographically but so similar at times. For the plants benefit I would like snow cover from mid November to mid February that would be ideal however the reality is we get swinging changes from cold to mild that often brings the plants into growth too early.
I enjoy making the videos and the responses I get are very encouraging.
