How beautiful they are, Anne.  If my batch of Nylon Group seedlings coming along from last year's SRGC seedex turn out anything like yours I'll be delighted.

Art - after looking through John Blanchard's book I would hazard a guess at N. cantabricus. Or possibly a hybrid. I have the impression that the hoop-petticoats are as bad as Sternbergias when it comes to identification (maybe worse). Whatever it is, it's very attractive.

I'm just home from a lecture by John Blanchard. Totally amazing so if he is ever in your area you must go. My list of species I want is huge.

Arthur, what a pretty flower..... it is a N. cantabricus but has extra "bits"...... the tube of the flower looks perfect so I don't think this is a simple case of two flowers fusing into one: there are extra petals and extra stamens so there is some sort of mutation going on..... if this is stable and it produces this effect in future
( ir has in past ?) years, then it is rather interesting.  The front view with the scalloping is lovely.
