Few Colchicum are already flowering, and now Drimia fugax, from Corsica, and Scilla (Prospero ) sp. from Morroco

Fred, I have read Scilla autumnalis is also found in N. Africa. Could this be that? What do you think?

There are several broad leaved Scillas besides S maderense, from the Canary Islands and the Balearics, I think they spread into north africa. eg Scilla haemmorrhoidales, Scilla latifolia.
 Might yours be Scilla numidica Fred?

Thanks David !
To be honest, I give them my "Tulip treatment" = dig'em up when the leaves have withered - give'em a dry rest in the shed - replant in late July !
Seems to work...

Autumn is apparently here:
Vagaria parviflora and Urginea maritima started to flower near the monastery of Latrun on the way to Jerusalem.
Vagaria parviflora is growing between rocks in half-shade.
In the garden of the monastery, they cultivated and planted these two species also.
