These were all bought as Muscari pallens but some open pale and in a few days fade to pristine white. Could the white one be anything else? They are short and if necessary I'll go outside with a torch and measure them :)

I got some from Augi a couple of years ago and they are in bloom now, and they look very similar Mark. I'll take a photo tomorrow (weather permitting) and post....

Nice plants Mark, showing what's probably just normal variability within the species.
Some I've grown from seed hold their pale blue/mauve colour while others fade to almost pure white.

Thanks Ashley. These are my only ones that fade to white. I'll have to move them to a different trough - don't want to give away my white ones :)

Here's mine Mark. Yes, Augi's Bulbs..

He says flowers white ... what's my blue one?
-
Comes up like that then fades to White pretty much like yours I think
-
sorry I rephrased my reply. What are my blue ones - just variable like Ashley says
-
M.pallens in my garden, I got my first ones more than
25 years ago from a Czech collector and noted no
hybridisation with other species during all the years.

So my blues ones are different and for years I thought it was the white ones. I think I'll email Augis
