Acis query

Posted here as a query- this was labelled as Leucojum roseum- but looks more like L.autumnale to me. Any ideas?

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.

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....

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 :)

 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? ?

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.
