Thanks Maggi, Oron. Sadly cannot grow them here any easier than I was able to do in the UK. For a while Tony (Hall, Kew) had a few of the middle east ones (angustatum, syriacum, aleppicum) but they did not prosper even under Tony's extraordinary talent!

Oron, I'm sceptical that the pyrami (on the link Maggi posted) is correctly named - it looks to be bovei.

Peter,
B. bovei is rare in this area and can be found growing only in 3 areas, Upper Galilee, Mt. Hermon and Golan Heights, at elevation above 900m [sharing same habitat of Iris histrio].
B. pyrami is very common [many thousands in some sites], it is a low elevation plant 0-400m, the plants in the photo [just opening], are from an area close to the sea at about 60m. it is a well known B. pyrami site.

Any way I'll probably pass there soon and so i'll send a photo of a cut flower.

Superb plants with an unique colour, Tony and Oron! 

Thanks for the comments - Oron, I also like the "forest" very much ;)

a picture of the Biarum auraniticum a couple of days later taken by Mrs W. whilst I was away. Much more like the one shown on the Bulb Society website. I had thought it was fully developed when I posted the first picture as the smell in the greenhouse was disgusting indicating it was mature(perhaps not)

Nice plants from all.

This morning Janis and myself went to the Upper Galilee region where we have encountered this magnificent specimen of B. bovei.
We never seen something this size, a real giant of about 30cm in height.

Very nice indeed Oron, do we have to name it as bovei forma giganteum ? ;)
As we can see Janis enjoyed it also...
