Sternbergia lutea

And what a beauty it is.

These are lovely :-)

Lovely colour too.

I wish I had more - I got this at Beth Chatto's Nursery a few years ago - in a pot. I've tried with bulbs, (failure!) so I think it might be one that needs to be planted while 'in the green'...

Mmm lovely !

I agree - I want more of them!!! :-)))

That's a beauty alright. According to my RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers They can be propogated by division in spring or autumn.

Good bright flower for this time of the year.

Toto - I just wouldn't DARE to chop it up! I shall try to buy more in pots...somewhere....

Thanks - I think so, too! lol.

Really lovely.....

That is a beauty!

:-))

A real gem Spritz!

taylors sell 3 for about £3. but our local plant stall in beverley sells them 3 for £1. she had a sack full and i got £5 plus a large bulb that didnrt look the same. it was though. do you want me to look when i go on saturday?

Oh no - please don't bother - we hope to visit our son soon - and he lives quite near Beth Chatto - so I'll call into her Nursery. What a good excuse! Hehehe....

never been to beth chatto's :o(

One day you will - I've been there twice. It is beautiful! Great Nursery, too.

Never seen a flower like this before it's lovely.

Thanks, Linda - yes, it is - but not easy to get it going! I was hoping for a few more flowers this year.

One of my favourites too. Expecting some soon from Pottertons :-)

I'm off to Beth Chatto's this week, as we pass there to get to where my son lives! I shall try to get a few from her. :-))

Do you know, I was there several weeks ago and forgot to look for them! Hope you get some Spritz. :-)

So do I!! Thanks. :-))
