Well I stiill saw some wild bulbs yesterday. Dipcadi serotinum. There were also Iris lutescens, Asphodelus cerasiferus, Squilla undulata, Lapiedra martinezii and possibly Gladiolus dubius, Allium moschatum and some Ophrys, but I saw no traces of them.Happy worker's day. 

Allium moly, the form described as subsp. Glaucescens, to say farewell to April.

Hi, Tractema lilio-hyacinthus is very different, as Jan said:

Yes, Hyacinthoides is the second obvious choice. Can you look at the bracteoles (presence / absence, one or two, length...)

Carlos

Hi. It is Chiapas, and chiapasiana.

POWO lists H. cleo as an accepted species, with the synonym Hymenocallis chiapasiana T.M.Howard in Pl. Life 35: 56 (1979)

I recently saw a photo of a 'Tractema verna' which looked like your plant, and matches plants in our Cantabrian coast, but it's not like the Tractema verna from central Europe, with quite wide leaves (I can't grow it here, so I have never seen the plant physically).

Note: modern genetic studies, even by different teams, have confirmed the splitting of Scilla, so I will use Scilla only when appropriate. It's not my fault if Kew (who are not God) are not up-to-date. I am a botanist and I must follow what science is telling. Of course Scilla is a valid name (only inaccurate and misleading) and it can be used, I will respect that, but I ask for respect to my position as well.

Quote from: Carlos on April 18, 2024, 01:59:22 PMI came back crossing a badly burned area in 2022, there are few signs of recovery, but I saw a few patches of Iris lutescens.

FANTASTIC seeing them in habitat like that! Thanks for sharing, Carlos!!

Thanks, I am used to seeing it but had to stop the car.

BTW... what are the blue leafed plants in the background that look like they could be Yuccas?

Asphodelus cerasiferus. They also survive fires well.

I went to look for Colchicum last Sunday, I found them in my third attempt after about 4 hours trying. I was looking for C. triphyllum for Dmitri Zubov, it occurs on Mediterranean high elevations and I did find some, but I'm not sure if they are montanum. Photos taken at about 1550 m.

I also found Muscari atlanticum again.



Now at home, the Albuca viscosa ripened three capsules, they are quite insect-looking, like egg cases of a Mantis. Opening like a mini Alien egg...


Finally, I got some capsules on my Asphodelus acaulis by selfing. The pedicels curve and at first the fruit is hidden between the leaves, then it dries up releasing the whole fruit, so it seems that they roll away from the mother plant. A most amazing dispersal behaviour, unique in Asphodelus and among most geophytes, I think.



I know my fingers often appear quite dirty, I prefer to touch the ground without gloves.

It is carneus, sorry

Narcissus obesus

Bi, I think  neither is G carneus, I will look it up later

Carlos

Hi, seeds received, payment sent. Many thanks.

Carlos

Ok, Uli, you told me about the narcissus fly...

I know more or less what glaucophyllum and platypetalum are, or at least what Regis Bastian says they are. But I agree that none of them is aulicum.

Hi, I know it's not been a long time since the seeds were distributed, but has anyone got flowers on these, or has plants?
