Sun break photos

I've learned that there is nothing like clicking on "send" to momentarily
enhance my editorial abilities.
No sooner had I sent the last message about Jane's mystery Sternbergia than
I noticed that Mark uses the spelling fischerana.
Is this a repeat of the Tulipa fosteriana/Tulipa fosterana thing?

In short, it has yellow flowers in fall and utterly S. candida-like foliage
in spring, and it was part of a batch of bulbs bought by Panayoti Kelaidis
in the early 1990s, which apparently had been wild-dug because there were
S. candida bulbs among them. Any ideas?
I'm chiming in for Sternbergia fischeriana, too. For me, this was a late
winter bloomer, not a fall bloomer. The foliage on the plant I had years
ago was the same color and even more upright and slightly twisted.

Today I hurried out during a sun break (a weather term that seems to be
indigenous to the Pacific Northwest) and photographed a whole lot of bulbs,
then posted them on the wiki. I have some questions about two of them.
First, here is another mystery Narcissus:

There is a subsp. albidus of N. romieuxii, but I don't find occidentalis
among the epithets of any member of the Bulbocodium section in the
literature I have. Any ideas, Harold and Kathy?
Second, here is a really serious mystery Sternbergia:

The story of it is on the Photographs and Information page for Sternbergia.

I've requested a page be set up for Corydalis, which I'm sure many of us
will be photographing in the coming weeks.
