No sign of Amana edulis yet. I hope I haven't lost it.

Can you tell that these tulips were grown from seed sown 3 years ago? ;)

Seeing these lovery tulips has been a real eye opener for me, I didn't know you could have them in flower at this time of year.

Tulipa orithyioides, sown in 2010
So lovely - the colouring reminds me of a fine crocus!

I have never seen or heard of this before - a name to remember - I find the colouring amazing, thank you so much for showing it.

Your Tulipa agenensis is wonderful Oron. I've been reading about Tulipa systola, looks like something which might do well for me here. Do you see it in your travels?

Thanks guys,
Jamus,  I do see Tulipa systola, it is quite rare and grows at high elevations in the Negev desert and S. Jordan.
Sorry to chill out your enthusiasm, but I have 5 years old seedlings that still have one leaf about 10 cm long, will probably need 3 more years to flower... :-\
