Sternbergia fischeriana separated last summer and planted in sand in an open frame. Blooming a month or more earlier than last year now that they are located 500 miles to the south.

There was a bright spot among the dried out foliage in part of the rock garden and on closer inspection they proved to be Sternbergia sicula!
After a tidy up they stood out more clearly and I could see that some of the bulbs were exposed so they were removed to be replanted elsewhere,

We have some Sternbergia sicula flowering near the last lot of S. lutea.
Some of the seedlings of the S. lutea appear to be halfway in size between the two - are these the results of crossing or are they just immature bulbs?

Sternbergia sicula multiplies very well in our garden so it has been planted in various places.
Here are a few more pics of 2 other colonies,

I certainly confirm this - I like especially the few developed leaves when flowering!

It is nice to see so many beautiful Sternbergia.
This hot and dry spring and summer has resulted in very good flowering on my Sternbergia both in sunny and shady areas of the open garden as well as under glass.
Another result of the dryness is also that the flowers emerge before the leaves. In normal (=wet) summers the leaves are very advanced when the flowers come.
1. and 2. Sternbergia sicula, an early clone I got from Janis many years ago. This started flowering in July.
3. Sternbergia Villa Carlotta (left) and sicula (right)
4. Sternbergia lutea from Greece (under glass)
5. Sternbergia Villa Carlotta x Dodona Gold
