A good year for sternbergia here.  The last to flower are these which I was given under the name Sternbergia lutea angustifolia.  Whatever you cal them, they're doing OK!

They are doing OK Tony, but very different from what I have under that name (originally from Mike Salmon). However,  I suspect it is a fictitious taxon

Tropicos  <  http://www.tropicos.org/NameSearch.aspx?name=cyclamen+luteum&commonname=  >  only lists subsp. graeca and sicula, so I think "fictitious" is the operative  word.

I need to go see if my S. lutea have started blooming yet.  None have started yet anywhere close to the house.

 ???  Two completely different genera here Cyclamen (which counts graecum as one of it's own) and Sternbergia which has lutea. I'm all in favour of lumping but that's rediculous ;D

Recent studies at Kew - morphometric & phylogenetic - suggest that S.sicula & S. greuteriana should be included in S. lutea which  is described as a very variable species. I recall seeing a reference to "S. sicula graeca" years ago but cannot recall where.

Sternbergia lutea have been wonderful this year, very dry & warm, must suit their needs.

That's what happens when I try to do two things at once!  Or maybe it's just time taking its toll on the little grey cells!

Kew lists Sternbergia lutea with three subspecies:
graeca
greuteriana
sicula
at:
http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/advsearch.do;jsessionid=FC7FF6025E4C84C046382B3AABF94814

Which is what I was after in the first place.

Sternbergia lutea seems perfectly hardy outdoors here.  S. sicula did not survive outdoors here in my rock garden.
