Default yellow nerines?


"Janet Baraclough.." wrote in message
Does anyone know if yellow nerines exist? I bought some bulbs-in-leaf
at a village plant sale, which look like nerines to me; the label said
"Irene's, yellow flowers in autumn". I've only eber seen pink white and
red nerines :-)

As I said in reply to your previous post, I don't think they are Nerines
especially if they are yellow flowered because I can't find any that aren't
white through pink to orangey red.
So if they are yellow Nerines then they would be worth a great deal of money
and I doubt would be sold in clumps in a local plant sale. Mind you, it
depends how lucky you are! :-)

No, I'll stick with Sternbergia lutea

shows the best picture I've been able to find of the leaves which as you
will see do look like Nerines, same Genus.
