In spite the hot weather, Sternbergia lutea flowers well.

I see that the RBG Kew Checklist  has now accepted the conclusions of Gage & Wilkin, so S. sicula & S. greuteriana are now 'officially' included in S. lutea.

We can certainly retain those distinctions for horticultural purposes.  We mustn't let the pedants spoil all our fun.

Hello,

Sternbergias start to flower here in Linz!

Sternbergia from Karpatos (thanks to a nice forumist) a small plant, flowering without leaves even this year

Sternbergia cf greuteriana (thanks to another forumist) - but I do not think true!  Dodonea Gold is not yet above ground

Sternbergia the gigant and the dwarf, both from Crete

Sternbergia from Corfu - this year with more advanced leaves than usual!

Herbert,
Very nice Sternbergias!
It clearly shows the great variation in flower shape and size in what some regard as one species (lutea)

The weather is bad here so the flowers of Sternbergia sicula graeca (as I still call them) will not open more than this.
A bit sunshine is appreciated, please!

My prayers have been heard!
Yesterday there was some sunshine and Sternbergia sicula graeca responded immediately. The characteristic of this Sternbergia which comes from the Greek mainland is a  small flower on a very short flowerstalk. The petals are relatively long and narrow. Narrow leaves that lies flat on the ground.

Great display - inside and outside!

Here is something which I still call greuteriana - please note
the differences. All specimen are from the same provenance.

Sternbergia lutea has started flowering in the open garden.
Sicula 'Dodona Gold' follows in a few days.
