Congratulations, it is a real beauty.
I often ask my self this question and just got to the conclusion that this is one of the most fascinating genera to grow, feels almost like raising an ugly pet... ;)

Fred with regard to Biarum ochridense see reply 82 which discusses its naming.
(previous page of this thread: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3776.msg166057#msg166057


No help on the other one. Do you know its origin?

Hans that is good it looks just like in the wild. Better than in a pot in the wet north.

Biarum auranticum a gift from Oron flowering for the first time for me.

I must admit I am having difficulty applying this plant to the one described in the monograph

It is wonderful that you menage to grow this extremely rare species, it isn't an easy one as it needs cold winters and boiling summers...
I think your plant hasn't reached its full potential yet, attached a photo from the Hauran region [Syria] where this species got his name from.

BEAUTIFUL images of B. auraniticum. When I was working on Biarum years back I tried to get to the B. auraniticum site from the Syrian side, but was unable to get in as it's on the edge of the Golan Heights with the border of Israel which, in 1986 was DEFINITELY not a place easy to reach!

By the way, Biarum auraniticum isn't always so pure yellow. The spathe can be stained to varying degrees pale to medium purple, and the spadix appendix can also be purple. See:

There are more photos of it on the early Biarum thread starting October 29, 2008.
