Dear all; I have two small clumps of Sternbergia lutea. I have a few flowers on the clump from a wild Italian source, but these seem way too early. The standard / commercial Dutch source has not yet bloomed. Another indication of the difference in provenance? Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
