Posted here as a query- this was labelled as Leucojum roseum- but looks more like L.autumnale to me. Any ideas?
-
Simon :
thats 100% not a Acis rosea - it is A.autumnalis

Definitely A. autumnalis. There is a form with no pink coloration, I understand, but most have that pink stain.
A. rosea has a pink stripe the length of the petals, and the proportions and stance of the flower is different. Also, A. autumnalis has thread-like leaves, whereas A. rosea has very narrow flattened leaves.
Now what I'd like to see are pictures the illustrate the differences between the A. autumnalis subspecties: A. a. autumnalis, A. a. oporantha, and A.a. pulchella.

Rodger ,
I have yesterday looked what is the last information for this earlier variants ( oporanthum + pulchellum )
they are now not longer acceptet names
I grow both - and I can really agree -there are not big differences....
-
Many thanks, Rodger and Hans. :)
-
Simon, it's beautiful, am glad you posted the pic.
About time I start a new list.
-
Thanks :)
-
Here is Acis rosea, from Corsica :
click the pix below.......
-
It would be lovely if you could post them again as thumbnails- they are timing out before I can see the Acis- though the Scilla is nice to see :)
-
Acis ionica in flower today.

Simon,
I have added Fred's pix to his post in the "usual" fashion.... can you view those more easily or do his images remaining still cause a problem? ?
-
Bulbissime,
What are the blue ones??
Cheers
Göte
-
What do you mean by Thumbnails : smaller images ??
Gote, blue ones are Scilla autumnalis
exists in white ;D
-
Thanks, Maggi- the thumbnails are perfect- and lovely pics too Fred ;)
-
Fred, when photos are uploaded via the attachment browser at the foor of the text box, rather than by the method you use, the pix are shown as mini images at the end of postsrather than the full size and can then be clicked on to enlarge. Also, for those who prefer to include their photos in the text of a post, as you do, the same method can be used but the code "attachthumb= 1/2/3" etc is used (enclosed in square brackets)to place the images in the text: these too can be enlarged, of course.........se Ferides p and Lesley Cox's post, for examples of this.
It seems that for those folks on dial -up or slow or intermittent internet connections, these smaller pix, the "thumbnails" as they are called, work better for the viewers.
-
Maggy, I've never used this code; what should I put after [attachthumb=] ?? my image link ?
thank's,
Fred
-
To make a post with photos, uploaded from your computer files rather than from an outside picture hosting site..... once you have the text box there, write your text then click on "Additional Options" at the bottom left of the page..... a new ea will appear with "ATTACH".............browse (more attachments)
To load the first picture, click on "Browse" and select the photo file from where you have it saved on your computer, then repeat for as many pictures as you have, up to ten each post.
You can add the photos up to ten at a time ... either at the end of your post, or by entering this code where you want the photo in your text (attachthumb=1)... name of the plant....
(attachthumb=2) ...... comment or name..........and so on. Obviously I have had to use () brackets in the previous example because otherwise the system will give the fault message if I use the Square brackets and do not upload any photos!
Hope this helps, Fred. 8)

test ;D
it's working ;D :P
Acis rosea
-
Thanks, Fred! All your photos are very beautiful; it is just that this method makes life easier for some readers and it is good to make the Forum as accessible as possible ! :D
-
I understand Maggy,
and it's easier for me too to not have to upload them before through another website ;D

Excellent, Fred... we have the proverbial win-win situation then, eh?!! 8) ;) :D :)
-
Thank you both for working through that- it is less draining on our bandwidth and we don't miss out on any great pics :)
Do you have pics of white Scilla autumnalis, Fred. We were looking through some large populations yesterday, but only found variations from pale blue to reddish purple.
-
Fred,
Nice photo of the two species blooming together side by side.
Can you tell at what altitudes you have seen Acis rosea growing?
-
Oron ,
I have also found by a earlier trip to Corsica this Acis rosea ( also growing with Scilla ) - I found four populations :
two near the sea
two inside of the island on a altitude 130m + 400m
please look for the stones on Fred's pic - it is granit !
the PH value is under 6,0
The most other Acis grows on calcy soil ....
I hope this helps you a bit
Hans
-
Hans,
Thank you very much for the detailed information, and the PH.
....Another one for my 'wish list'.. :-\
-
Oron - no problem !
Also no problem with your wish .....
Please write me a PM ;D
-
Sinchets, white form is on page 1 ;D
Oron, I've found this Acis rosea between 1.5 and 10 m above sea level !!
In granit, yes !!
and they also should receive lot of salt water !

Thanks Fred
So its a tough one behind this appearance...
I have allready the salt, now i only need the bulbs ;)
-
Thanks, Fred.
Hans, your comments made me think- we have been travelling around and so far have only seen Scilla autumnalis on non-calcareous rocks. Is this a feature throughout its range does anyone know?
-
Simon ,
I have seen often on my travels Scilla autumnalis ....I think this plants are indifferent ( they grows on calcy or not calcy ground )
P.e. I saw a lot on Corsica ( granit ) ,Sardinia ( calcy ) , Crete ( calcy ), Cyprus ( calcy )....
-
Thanks, Hans. We haven't seen it on lime here yet, but maybe those soils are still too dry.
