Ornithogalum 2010
« on: January 28, 2010, 10:12:38 AM »
First two species are in bloom at the moment:
O. chionophilum, endemic to Cyprus with lovely contrast of glaucus leaves
The second is O. sibthorpii from SE Turkey, both will flower for at least 3 weeks.

Oron, nice dwarf ornithogalums (particularly O. chionophilum).  It's interesting how O. chionophilum has the general look and aspect of Allium chamaemoly.

Yes, very nice Oron .
I did never see the first in Cyprus.Is this a  plant of the  high mountains?
In previous years sibthorpii is already in flower here. But due cold winter it is not in flower yet.
We did see sibthorpii in the Peloponesos.

Hi Kris

O. chionophilum is quite a common species in Cyprus, it grows from 700-1950m,
generally it starts blooming late February.

I named this Ornithogalum as O. oligophyllum (using Flora of Turkey) but I'm something doubtfull about name. In any case - very beautiful and this year the earliest.

I have not tried for seed in previous years but it has now had a very active afternoon with a paintbrush! Time will tell.
