Hi Ragged I can tell more about Muscari Valerie Finnis, it was in 1985 when I viseted Wayne Roderick and after making a trip trough the wild we did some gardening in his garden and it then I saw this Muscari for the first tlme.
In the Summer he send me about all the bulbs he had, we grew it on for a couple af year and because Wayne had told me he got it from Valerie Finnis (Lady Scot) who had fond it in Turkey we wrote on the lable Valerie Finnis and when he stay with us in 1990 he saw the lable and told me I should first ask Valerie Finnes if it was allow to us her name and that is what we did and she was very pleased to give her name.
So in 1993 I think it was it was regetrated by the Nomeclature in Holland.
Wim
Thank you Wim for your real life story of the naming of Muscari 'Valerie Finnis' - I shall love it all the more knowing its history. |

My 'Valerie Finnis' is still in tight bud. Curious about Lady Scot. Different person from Lady Scott (the late Sir Peter Scott's wife, who died in January)?

Yes, Anthony, though the Scott is the correct spelling.... Valerie Finnis was the wife of Sir David John Montagu-Douglas-Scott (1887 - 1986) http://www.finnis-scott-foundation.org.uk/history.html |

Both Lady Scotts seem to have had their titles shrunk. Sir Peter Scott's wife, Lady (Philippa) Scott was originally Felicity Philippa Talbot-Ponsonby. |

maybe I call it Muscari comosum White Wave So pleased for your wonderful discovery after 250 bends and metres of Allium triquetrum - I like the name too Roland although your wife might have called it a "wave of relief"  |

Janis, thanks for showing us these lesser-known muscari and bellevalia, as well as for comments on how they are distinct. They're all beautiful. Do you give them all standard growing conditions?
Arnold that's a fine pallens. I like this species very much but find here that it goes over faster than many others.

Here's the first flowering of a Muscari from one of the seedexes. But I can't find the label! It was supposed to be M. caucasicum ...I think! I'll have to scour the seed list books!   Any help would be appreciated! cheers fermi |
