Sternbergia 2012

[Gerry Webster]

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.

Dimitri - The links work fine now. Nice pictures. (I don't understand the internet!)

Ungernia, what a beautiful Genus!

Just after a week of the fischeriana show, it's the round of S. candida. I find this species slower to increase than fischeriana. Also I don't smell any scent at all, in spite of literature reporting this species is freesia scented   while fischeriana has just a faint scent.


P.S. I can't find the way to put the preview photo, where can I read a post, please?

Angelo, lovely S. candida

 I am not sure if the usual method for photos works for photobucket pictures.

 Usually all you need to do is load the file from your computer, without any {img} coding and the thumbnail picture appears at the end of your post. or, you can have it appear in the text by writing {attachthumb=1}  but using the square backets



( I use the { instead of  [ because that would show as a an error when not actually loading a file)


Perhaps some one else can explain this better?

[Gerry Webster]

That's wonderful Angelo.

[Angelo Porcelli]

Ok it seems to work now, I didn't understand there was a way to upload photos straight to the messages

[Maggi Young]

Well done Angelo, you've managed to understand my rambling words!

Again, super flowers.

 Great plants Angelo ! 
It looks like Italy has the ideal conditions for this two Sternbergia's . Do you have more bulbs to share with us ?

It's autumn in the Southern Hemisphere! Here's the first of the Sternbergia sicula in our garden -
these were grown from seeds from Rannweig Wallis in about 1998 which were labelled as "from Crete"
- there is some variation in petal shape.
cheers

Lovely, Fermi.

Those Ungernia pics on the previous page are amazing.  The first ones remind me of Rhodophiala.  Very, very cool.
