My F.eduardii has put up its nose from a frozen soil.
I hope it won't be harmed by it.
I'm very curious about it. I found on the web that it is a natural hybrid from the F.imperialis and F.raddeana found in Tajikistan.

It's planted in a container on my upstairs terrace where it will get plenty of sun.
But now I wonder what's coming up just beside it, could it be an offset from the main bulb or is it altogether another bulb. The leaves have a strange shape, they are not just flat but triangular. I know I have a bad habit not to note down where I plant what just trusting that I will remember, but often my memory fails. I just don't like to put labels everywhere..
It would be interesting if there were more images in PF that show the joung stages of the emerging foliage..
