The correct name is Sternbergia ...not Sternbergina

this plants are named in honor of Mr. Sternberg

Just a misspelling error Hans - how bright and beautiful she is!

I think only Maggi can correct the heading.

Gabriela ,

a two time misspelling error  ::)
Rimmer could correct the wrong name himself ....Maggi cannot controll all  :D

The Problem is that the "search" function does not work with wrong named plant names ...

It's a pretty Sternbergia too that I did not know.
In my new garden, where I brought trailers of pure lava right on the ground, with no other inputs. I had planted a few bulbs of Sternbergia lutea that were in excess and did not return in the pots anymore. They clearly supported the winter rains and the frost. Next year, I could put more.

Yes you can.

Mine also look like yours and temperatures dropped down to -17°C this winter.

correcting the typo in the thread name.

Forumists can always return to their own posts to edit them - but it is my job to correct a thread title.

Great Gerd, I love it. I have found it 1990 in Turkey not knowing what it is and not knowing the genus at all. When I saw the first offer I bought some bulbs, last flower in 2015.

And here is also the picture of my Sternbergia lutea after the winter for Frederic.

Thank you, Frederic and Stefan.

I did not mention that my flowering plant received an artificial warming periode during summer 2016
before the bulb was planted in the open garden in autumn.

My Sternbergia candida grows the whole year in the open garden at a south facing wall and have flowered reliable the last 3 years.
The only problem is that the light level is too low in the early spring, so the flower stalks get long and floppy.

My Sternbergia lutea have passed the period of the great cold too. Here is a picture I just made of them.
