Scilla and relatives 2024

Thanks to a kind forumist, Hyacinthoides reverchonii flowers here.



Occasionally, there are such pale blue flowers on Scilla / Chionodoxa sardensis.

Mariette, Hyacinthoides reverchonii is beautiful!

[Mariette]

Thank You, Leena! Though the plant is rather small, it certainly has its charmes.

Scilla lilio-hyacinthus seems happy in my garden.

A few from the Southern Hemisphere's spring:
1) Scilla vicentina VH719 Portugal ex KV2017
2) A bluebell which appeared in a bed well away from other bluebells which are all the Spanish type or the hybrid but could this be the "true British/English/Irish/Scottish" bluebell?
3) Scilla bithynica
cheers

Hi Fermi, I think the hybrids occasionally may look very much the same like the species. Yet the plant You show has a more open flower, not like typical Hyacinthoides non-scripta with its narrow shape.  Some German specimens, by the way.
