More Sternbergia lutea - this clump came from a friend who was clearing a customer's garden of bulbs and presumed that they were narcissus  ;)

Finally, Sternbergia sicula is starting - this is the original cluster where I planted a few grown from seed from Rannweig Wallis at the end of the 1990s

Fermi, every time I see such happy 'Mediterraneans' in your garden I feel like apologising to mine for the suffering I put them through ;D 8)

Thanks, Yann. I'm glad they like our climate!
I did have the winter flowering S. candida for a few years but one year they didn't reappear  :'( I think because the bed above them was watered during the summer and the water seeped down and rotted them while dormant

Sternbergia sicula opened first and then these colchiciflora, just three years after sowing.
