Sternbergia fischeriana

The correct name is Sternbergia ...not Sternbergina
this plants are named in honor of Mr. Sternberg

Just a misspelling error Hans - how bright and beautiful she is!
I think only Maggi can correct the heading.
-
Gabriela ,
a two time misspelling error ::)
Rimmer could correct the wrong name himself ....Maggi cannot controll all :D
The Problem is that the "search" function does not work with wrong named plant names ...

It's a pretty Sternbergia too that I did not know.
In my new garden, where I brought trailers of pure lava right on the ground, with no other inputs. I had planted a few bulbs of Sternbergia lutea that were in excess and did not return in the pots anymore. They clearly supported the winter rains and the frost. Next year, I could put more.

Yes you can.
Mine also look like yours and temperatures dropped down to -17°C this winter.

correcting the typo in the thread name.
Forumists can always return to their own posts to edit them - but it is my job to correct a thread title.

Sternbergia candida - first flower (for me) ever

Gerd, I learn that there are sternbergia that bloom in spring ... I did not know. Thank you :)

Great Gerd, I love it. I have found it 1990 in Turkey not knowing what it is and not knowing the genus at all. When I saw the first offer I bought some bulbs, last flower in 2015.
And here is also the picture of my Sternbergia lutea after the winter for Frederic.
-
Thank you, Frederic and Stefan.
I did not mention that my flowering plant received an artificial warming periode during summer 2016
before the bulb was planted in the open garden in autumn.

My Sternbergia candida grows the whole year in the open garden at a south facing wall and have flowered reliable the last 3 years.
The only problem is that the light level is too low in the early spring, so the flower stalks get long and floppy.

My Sternbergia lutea have passed the period of the great cold too. Here is a picture I just made of them.

Sternbergia sicula

Sternbergia lutea opened its first flower over a week ago and is now in full bloom

Sternbergia greuteriana (which we got from Otto a number of years ago) is flowering again
cheers

Sternbergia has started to flower today. Both are seed raised from my own collections in spring 2010 at around 1500m asl.

Sternbergia sicula
-
Even if we had had the worst summer for 20 years, with low temperatures, lack of sun and lots of rain, my early clone of Sternbergia sicula performs very well - even in the open rock bed. Here one of them was twin headed.

Sternbergia sicula -a nice form that came from Cyril Lafong.

It's amazing how quickly Sternbergia come up to flower. I'm sure they're faster off the mark than other autumn bulbs. Nothing showing a week ago, and now in flower are:
Sternbergia lutea (acquired as such, but I think it's the plant known in cultivation as 'Angustifolia', a putative hybrid between S. lutea and S. sicula)
Sternbergia sicula 'Arcadian Sun' (to my eye not much different to the one above!) - and in front a bud of S. greuteriana about to open.
Sternbergia colchiciflora
Unfortunately they'll all be over before the Late Bulb Day in Aberdeen.
-
Sternbergias are also in flower in Austria:
Sternbergia lutea
good Sternbergia lutea type (some stalks with two flowers)
Sternbergia maybe greuteriana (in comperison with a lutea!)
Sternbergia clusiana in bud
Sternbergias from Crete in bud
-
I have 3 different Sternbergias, all labelled sicula.
1 bought last summer, in flower, labelled grandiflora. No flower this year after splitting up but at least 20 pairs of leaves visible.
Another single bulb has had 3 flowers sequentially, before leafing out, and did the same last year. No vegetative increase but crossed it with a friends S. lutea hopefully.
Other form not flowered yet. All are being pot grown under glass.
