Just back from Crete and with the experience of a closer examination of a site with so called Sternbergia greuteriana ( Gipari Gorge) I confirm this entirely. Flower and leaf shape according descriptions  don't seem of any value to differentiate the lutea, sicula, greuteriana complex.
Gerd

Hi Gerd , good to hear that you where on the right time to see them flower !
I am happy that somebody confirms my experience . But when you think of it then the good news is that there is some variation in those populations . Isn't it ?
I would like them called S. lutea " Cipari Gorge " .
But the best part of be there is see them growing and flowering . We are looking forward to see some pictures in the future .

Kind regards.

Unbelievable! Don't know what to admire more, the Sternbergias or the daffodils.
Oron, are the cavanillesii a special variety - var. mauretanicus for instance?

This afternoon i visited the Southern part of the Golan Heights where at the moment thousands of Sternbergia clusiana are in bloom. They grow in steps and walls of basaltic stone facing the Sea of Galilee.
I like in particularly the fase where flowers are still greeny before turning  yellow.
