....and one jeep comes from the other side and he cry : go -go -go ....

So we jump in our car and drive this road - it was possible ......after 20 km's and around 1 hour we reach the next city ...and we could start our walking .....
after 17.00 we drive back

and you see here our car and the driver .....tired but lucky -it was a nice adventure ;D

Wow!!! Franz, thank you for pointing me to your website, what a treasure trove of pictures, really wonderful. That Sternbergia candida is splendid.

(Maggi, we really do need a smiley for "drooling". .... well perhaps not but....)

What a stunning selection of pictures of these fabulous plants, thanks all.

I am reassured to read that there is also confusion between  S. lutea and sicula in the wild.
It seems that it is not always possible to define good species.

One day Dave I might join you on one of these trips.

Ian, your company would be most welcome.

Fortunately some of the other species aren't as difficult to identify.

Thanks for this generous offer Hans. I'm sure we'd be allowed a small one, though we do have various subspecies here, such as the black and white striped, the purple shouldered and the Adidas form. I even grow a couple myself, one being the Old Sacking species, with Leather Straps and a Hole in the Side.

Good Heavens! That one looks very full and heavy. I'm surprised it didn't pull you right off the mountain!
