It's beautiful!

Thanks for posting these beautiful pictures, Elena! I like Ruby Star very much but because it's not available here in Germany I can only admire it on pictures...

Elena,

Just gorgeous flowers!! Ruby Star is one of my favorites of the Israeli bulbs, unique and stunning!! Too bad it's not available to everyone, for sure, it is one that belongs in everyone's collection!!

She won't set seeds but occasionally someone is able to use her pollen on someone else, I have never had any luck but I stopped trying after numerous tries but who knows!!?

One year I had two bulbs blooming simultaneously with 2 scapes each and I pollinated all 16 flowers and got nothing so now I just admire her legs hanging down with her fluffy slippers of pollen, part of her charm.

Your photos are beautifull Elena , sure it's a pity we can't find those Isrealy bulbs in Europe. Thank you to you friend who helped me growing this beauty ♥♥♥

Thank you for your kind words dear ladies))

I will try to pollinate it. And use it in the pollen of different options that are available to me. I just can not not try it)))

Best wishes,

Elena.

I got a Ruby Star this year, can't wait to see it bloom!

Hi Sue! I hope he will soon bloom and you will appreciate its flowering! Please send us your photos, post in this thread we will enjoy together!

Best wishes,

Elena.

Thanks Fred! I also like it)))

Hi Elena,

Your Ruby Star is very beautiful too!!! I have mine in the cool dry basement for it's winter nap and I'll probably bring it up into the house sometime after Christmas. It really is a beautiful flower.

Elena,

Your ♥♥Glee♥♥ is beautiful!! I'm waiting for mine from last season to bloom. It is doing well, as most all of these lovely Israeli bulbs do!!

My Glee will bloom soon also. Can't wait to see it's beauty!

Elena,

Your Pink Flush is beautiful! I have one from a few years ago and it has never bloomed. Big healthy bulb but no flowers. Well, maybe this year.

I also thought from the stock pictures, that Pink Flush was a darker more saturated pink, I've never seen one actually in bloom in person before!☺☺

Thank you Donna! The color is really a bit richer, it was cloudy and had to take pictures with the flash.

As I have information of my friends that the Israeli varieties it is difficult to get to bloom . In my opinion this is possible due to the difference in content. The site of the company stated that the bulbs are grown in soilless medium, heated environment. Apparently so the bulbs of these varieties is difficult adaptation in soil substrate.

Aulicum-X-Ruby-Stare. For more than a month ...

Other Israeli varieties not pollinated ....yet))but they left a lot of pollen.

Elena, Wow!! What a great achievement this is!! I have never had success using Ruby Star either way although I know several on this forum have. Those seeds should be priceless!!, I wish you luck and lot of germinations!!!

Donna

Thanks Donna! For me it is a great joy)) Now I wonder whether they are viable.It is a pity that there are no specific on the use of pollen Ruby Star, it would be interesting to compare. In any case, I will share observations.

Elena.

Congratulations, Elena! I'm looking forward to your observations! And to the flowers in a few years of course:-)

Good luck with germination!

Anja

Thank you Anja !!! Let's will be watch together))

Elena.

Pink Flush second arrow. Gives a chance to try more pollination))

Wow!! Look at this one with the gorgeous curling petals, more than your first and the lovely throat!!! I love it now... I just have to get mine to bloom!!!! Very lovely with that gorgeous pink color with the red markings!!

Hi Elena,

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! That is breath taking!!! I don't think I've seen one with such noticeably bi-colored stamens. Congratulations!!!

Fred

Thank you Donna and Fred ! I took a few photos but on this see the tendrils of petals. This time he tried to do for us beauty ))) I also love this delicious color))
