Nice photo Angela. I have just red up on this on the internet, as I was going to ask if you ate it. Evidently the dried leaves are used in Bulgaria to flavour stews ... seems to be a question mark against the bulbs though ... one person on a forum said "they appeared on a list, when I googled .. poisonous bulbs". Grows to nearly 3 feet in height and the bees love it.... I guess you already know that.

Don't they take a time to open fully, think mine took a good 3 weeks!

Much paler than mine DD.

Siris - that does mean that they last a long time.

Mine are darker too, but the flowers are all open now, might darken with age?
