Hello David, good to see you here and to have you begin to show these photos.

I have resized  the Biarum carratracenseJCA5478  photo to be 800 pixels wide.... that is the maximum size preferred for the forum.

To add more than one phot to each post, click the (more attachments) button and you can load up to ten photos per post.

Hope this helps?  :)

What a selection! And all growing well for you David.... almost as attractive a Crocus! ;)

I have added the picture names to the text of your posts to allow the photos to be found by the forum search  facility and search engines.

Thank you Maggi, I expect a few people will understand the Crocus reference.

Fred
The pots are all clays plunged in a sandbed in a greenhouse.
Weather in my part of UK (s.e. England) in winter is not good enough to allow growing outdoors except for the tenuifoliums.
Pot sizes are variable from 4" to 8" depending on the size and number of tubers in the pot.

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.

David - a belated welcome to the forum.
Very interesting Biarums, though not quite as attractive as a crocus.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

I rather think so, David... there are a great many "Croconuts" around here and your name comes up all the time!

David,

Welcome to the forum, glad we have another Biarumist here.
That is a fantastic selection!!!
Can you tell where the Sp. nova is originated to?

Tivon, in the lower Galilee, north Israel.
200m.
