Will discovered the first flower yesterday! I think this is one of the Sternbergia sicula we raised from seed sent by Rannweig Wallis, originally collected in Crete,

  • Summers too hot, too dry and too long.

Lovely, under Rosa rugosa. I like that rock too. We don't have any volcanic rocks like that around these parts.

Superb. It's nice to be able to grow directly in the garden. We merely the greenhouse at home.

Sternbergia fischeriana in a covered frame open to the weather.  This has been in a state of stasis for past few weeks as we had cold weather temps of -10C to -23C

On Saturday Viv brought a large pot of Sternbergia lutea in bloom to our meeting; mine in the garden aren't even showing a nose!

Nevermind, David,
I can't grow any of those wonderful primula that you can!
The good thing about the forum is that we can appreciate what others grow that we can't.

Here's more pics of Sternbergia sicula scattered around the garden,

Well I am surprised! Last year my little clump of Sternbergia (lutea I think?) threw one flower and it's done it again now with the possibility of a second. Mike Quest gave me the bulbs years ago (must have been 6 or 7) and never a flower until last year.

Hi David.  Looks like S. sicula to me,  lutea has more rounded petals and wider leaves.
My sicula now has leaves and a bud coming like yours.  The lutea is probably
two weeks from appearing, maybe more. Check the PBS website.
