Sternbergia 2015

Beautiful, sunny flowers.  It's fall there and there's hope for spring here... the March sun is warm, despite the air temperature.

Sterbergia lutea took a little longer to come into bloom

But more and more Sternbergia sicula have been appearing around the garden; these were grown from seed and show a bit of variability,

Now the winter flowering white one, Sternbergia candida has started,

Lovely.  "Flowers in winter", what a concept.  ;-)

Sternbergia sicula is flowering a month earlier this year!

cheers

Lovely and sunny.

Sternbergia lutea has now started

And Sternbergia sicula continues and the brighter day today allowed them to open wide

cheers

Sternbergia greuteriana is even smaller than S. sicula!

Not one for the open garden! But holds its own in the rock garden,
