a bit late this year Gagea peduncularis, 3's old seedlings
-
Gagea graeca, another beauty
Gagea mauritanica
-
a few more species are blooming.
Gagea caroli-kochii

Gagea fibrosa is the first gagea I ever grew.
When dividing it up in late summer I wasn't sure if there was any life in the dried remnants but all the pieces are in growth and some are in flower and attracting the pollinators!
cheers

It's a lovely plant Fermi. I had it years ago from seed but probably kept it too dry when dormant & eventually lost it :-[
G. caroli-kochii is beautiful too Yann, and new to me.

No promises, Ashley, but if the pollinators have done their work I might have some seeds later.
Two weeks later there are still blooms,

Thanks, Yann.
I love these little bulbs and need to propagate this one to spread it around. I don't know anyone else growing gagea in Australia :-\
