Pancratium [Vagaria] parviflorum

[Oron Peri]

P. parviflorum is in flower now, it is common in Israel in different habitats, growing in  heavy shade under trees or in open sunny areas.
Personally i prefer the striking leaves that appear after the first rain.

Hi Oron
fabulous plant . I like not only leaves, greenish flowers are lovely too. I hope you can have seeds. In this case, I would put me on waiting list!

[Oron Peri]

Alberto,

This species doesn't perfume at all, but now that you have asked i will have to check next year
, maybe it perfumes at night...

Dominique, i think there are going to be few seeds in a few weeks, I Will let you know when I have them.

[dominique]

Do all Pancratium parviflorum have variegation?  Mine doesn't.

Yes Josh, they are.
Do you have a photo of your plant's leaves?, it would be intresting to see it.

[Tony Willis]

Oron that is a super plant,beautiful leaves.

The Pancratium sickenbergeri are now in their second year from your seed so I expect it will be some years yet before I see a flower.
