Romulea 2014

[Oron Peri]

I have been absent from the forum for quite some time now, main reason is that i had to relocate my entire bulb collection to a new and much improved conditions, a task that took me 4 months, working on site few hours every day.
I just didnt realize the size of the collection...
Most of the plants are now planted in raised beds and look fantastic in their new home.
Here are some of the Romulea in bloom today, I'll take more photos tomorrow.

    Romulea clusiana
    Romulea ligustica syn. R. melanconiana

A nice display Oron, what medium are they growing in?

I've sown some Romulea seeds this year for the first time.

Oron:

Can you send a wide view of the new growing area.
Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

Romulea are not fussy at all, they will grow in any kind of soil and can thrive even in damp conditions, as long as they are situated  in a sunny place.
I find Romulea to be the easiest Genus to grow, despite their appearance they are tough plants and do not get any diseases.

Arnold,
 I have these photos from a couple of weeks ago, it is a part of the area,
there is another section for plants that need to be grown in shade here such as Cyclamen.
Each bed is 5m x 1.2m and 20cm high.
The Oncocyclus and other desert species grow in 40cm high beds.
I left the germination area with about 600 little plastic squares in my garden as i check them at least a couple of times a day...

R. ramiflora from Cyprus
R. colomnae from Jerusalem
R. linaresii from the Peloponnese

Oron, Thanks.

I see a lot of back breaking work there.

Thanks Oron, that's encouraging.

Impressed with your raised beds, almost commercial - perhaps they are?
