I didn't know there was a yellow spring-flowering sternbergia Hans? Is it a new one because I will certainly put it on my wish list? :)

hi Hans

nice sternbergia.I flowered candida for the first time last year,I bought it from Christian about 10 years ago.It was a complete dissapointment,one I think better seen in the wild which I have not done,I am always too late.

Hi Hans,
so beautiful plant and so early ! Mine will not flower that year, too little bulb. Last year my candida made seed pod and my cat cutted it with his teeth before maturity !!! I was sad and desappointed !!! Perhaps it will flower again in 2008 with more chance.

Lovely , Hans, and even better because you had some sunshine to make the photo... it is very dark and wet here in Aberdeen.

Thank you all ! ;D ;D ;D

Gerd : there are still some Sternbergia's who I still search .....

Tony : Hakuna Matata is no music - it means : "Dont worry" or "No problem" - thats Suaheli - a very handy word in Africa

Maggi : we had some sun today ....but it's was very windy !

Dominique : I'm not shure if St. fischeriana is self fertil -but I will try it with pollination

Hans, this is an interesting Sternbergia, but about S. candida: this flowered with a friend here in
Holland already in December. He told me this was because of the very warm weather in April last year.
I'll have a look in Gartenflora.

There is music with Hakuna Matata-Text:  http://www.lionking.org/lyrics/OBCR/HakunaMatata.html

Yes, and Disney disnae pronounce Hakuna Matata correctly either. It is Ha-koo-na ma-ta-tah with all six syllables given the exact same length of time, like a row of quavers said at one every half second and the second, fourth and sixth syllables emphasised ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

Thank you Luit and Anthony !

I agree with my friend Tony now :

Here is Sternbergia sicula, in flower now. This form is derived from a collection made by Dr John Marr near Dodona (JRM 3186). Coming from the northern part of the species’ range it does not require a hot,  dry bake to make it flower (though it will tolerate such treatment).
