Thanks a lot Angelo, should give my plants a bit more of sun - the relationship flowers and leaves in your plants is much better! My grow in semishade and the flowers are hidden in between the leaves.

Anyone an idea which species this could be? I grow it as Sternbergia spec. ex Iran - beautiful tiny leaves, but no flower in several years. Total height of the plant is about 8 cm, second picture shows it together with leaves of Sternbergia angustifolia.
Hans, the first one is UNGERNIA sp. really....

Dimitri - please can you set out the reasons for this identification?

Gerry!
1) by simple morphology, as I growed some years Ungernia oligostroma; also I'm happyly growing Sternbergia species - colchiciflora, candida, fischeriana, lutea and I know these two genera differ by habit even when they just vegetate....
2) by non-flowering in culture - as I know it is very difficult to force this plants to bloom in culture because of their mostly desert nature growing, my Ungernia never bloomed at me in zone 5.....

Dimitri - Thank you.
not at all, Gerry!  ;D to specify we should check in list all Ungernia species growing in Iran but it could be difficult without flowering of plants..... I know only U. flava and U. trisphaera from Iran...

Dimitri - unfortunately your links do not seem to work. With 'Firefox' I get the message " Bad Gateway".

I don't know, Gerry, possibly your net provider makes some filters for Russian sites)))))))  But Ungernia pics from there are extremely beautyfull as for me - very interesting plants from Amaryllidaceae.
