I have been absent from the forum for quite some time now, main reason is that i had to relocate my entire bulb collection to a new and much improved conditions, a task that took me 4 months, working on site few hours every day.
I just didnt realize the size of the collection...
Most of the plants are now planted in raised beds and look fantastic in their new home.
Here are some of the Romulea in bloom today, I'll take more photos tomorrow.
Romulea clusiana
Romulea ligustica syn. R. melanconiana
Romulea citrina, SA
-
some more
Romulea bulbocodium ' Striped'
Romulea bulbocodium var. leichtliniana
R. bulbocodium var. crocea
(edit to add photo names )

A nice display Oron, what medium are they growing in?
I've sown some Romulea seeds this year for the first time.
-
Oron:
Can you send a wide view of the new growing area.
Thanks,

Thanks Chris,
Romulea are not fussy at all, they will grow in any kind of soil and can thrive even in damp conditions, as long as they are situated in a sunny place.
I find Romulea to be the easiest Genus to grow, despite their appearance they are tough plants and do not get any diseases.

Arnold,
I have these photos from a couple of weeks ago, it is a part of the area,
there is another section for plants that need to be grown in shade here such as Cyclamen.
Each bed is 5m x 1.2m and 20cm high.
The Oncocyclus and other desert species grow in 40cm high beds.
I left the germination area with about 600 little plastic squares in my garden as i check them at least a couple of times a day...

Romulea tempskyana from Antalya province

R. colomnae from Jerusalem
R. linaresii from the Peloponnese

Cracking display Oron, nice raised beds too.

Thanks Oron, that's encouraging.

Impressive Oron , good to see how other growers in other countrys create their "plantparadise" ....
This is certainly a bulbparadise and a great space for bulblovers ...... 8)

Although a common species, I couldn't resist to post this photo of my native Romulea bulbocodium. It took many years to get this clump, the only cares have been pulling out the weeds, let it self sown and...stepping over a bit in summer !!! You can't believe, but Romuleas thrive in very hard soils !

Romulea komsbergensis

Superb plant!

I sometimes feel that Romuleas do not get the credit they deserve as fine plants- I hope the photos shown here of their lovely range of colours will convince anyone that they are worth growing.
-
I agree. Every bit as desirable as Crocus!

Romulea macowanii from the 2009/2010 seed exchange (63/3272 & 3273)
Plants in the foreground of the first picture came as R. macowanii var. alticola, but apart from being slightly smaller seem otherwise identical to those labelled R. macowanii.
Can anyone please tell me whether these two are synonyms or whether var. alticola is somehow distinct?
