Fred what a stunning photo - a strange plant that reminds me of white penquins for some reason.

Is it in your garden or in pot ?

Horrible to get good picts of pot-culture.....

[Lesley Cox]

Of the many hundreds of plants we all grow and see here on the different parts of the Forum, surely Biarum must be the most strange?

Biarum davisii is flowering here now too.

[Oron Peri]

Biarum season starts here,
The first to bloom is the rare B. angustatum restricted to a narrow coastal strip in N. Israel and Syria.
Easy recognised by the narrow 'leg', all other species in the area have a swollen leg.

[Oron Peri]

While at home the Spanish B. carratracense has opened this morning.

[BULBISSIME]

Nice pictures Oron, and very interesting to see the open spadix, which is essential for identification.

[Oron Peri]

The rare Biarum auraniticum, known only from the Golan Heights [Syrian territory] and the Hauran region in SW Syria.
Each flower has its own color from Green -yellow to rusty, hard to find two similar flowers.
These photos are from this morning.

[BULBISSIME]

Lucky you are Oron !
gorgeous pictures of this rare and so nice Biarum.

[WimB]

Wonderful Oron,

very beautiful coloured flowers!

Easy recognised by the narrow 'leg', all other species in the area have a swollen leg.

They have my sympathies. I hope they don't get cramp as well. Pure hell here at present.

[Anthony Darby]

I bet it's less than a foot tall!

[David Stephens]

Thought it was time I shared some of my Biarums.
Here are photo's of some of the more interesting one's that have flowered so far this season.
