Gerd, I have discovered the picture from last year. Could this be Sternbergia schubertii?

Stefan,
Unfortunately I can't find the posting to the picture, the geographic origin of the species will be interesting.
Sternbergia schubertii is from sw Turkey.

Gerd, I bought it as Sternbergia colchiciflora, so no idea from where it is. Thx for the interesting article.

10 years ago I planted some small bulbs of Sternbergia clusiana var. macrantha in my open rock garden. After a long waiting this year the first flower.

Great Ebbie, so I can hope that mine will still come into flower this year too. I suppose yours are at a hot place?

An update from yesterday. The plant is now very open compared with last week.

Leuco, yes, patience is the important virtue of the gardener. I hope, however, that I do not have to wait 10 years for the next flowering.

Sokol, it's not the hottest place. But the Sternbergie is planted elevated and results in a permeable substrate.

Sternbergia colchiciflora - I do not find particularly attractive, but an extraordinary flowering.

You feel they are better off in the garden.
What do you especially to cultivate the garden? What are the important points to be observed?
