Re: Biarum tenuifolium ssp. abbreviatum

Gorgeous!

I had this species for several years. I started it from seed, but never got it to bloom. I gave it away when I moved. Sigh.

Received with that name, at least; opinions from the experts would be welcome.

The attached picture, which I know is poor, is of inflorescences on two plants that opened today. The odor to me is exactly that of a wood fire at the beginning of a rain, smoky and slightly acrid, but Cathy thought it more a mushroom smell.

What's the pollination biology of Biarum as far as when pollen is mature and when the stigmas are receptive? (And are they self-fertile?)

Thanks,

Steve
