I have only flowered my S. candida once in fifteen years and was totally dissapointed with it. I think it is too cool and wet here.

My S. candida have started to get seedpods - as it did the last year - hope this time there will be a seed inside... ::)

Sternbergia candida

Only three flowers this year. I think there were more in '08.

Dom - it's very interesting that you can grow them outside. I hope you get some flowers - do tell us.

Herbert,

These S. candida are doing very well. Is it normal with so many flowers? I had the impression that flowering were difficult.
