Hi Oleg,
I'm not sure if this is the same plant - ours came from a Seedex as Muscari azureum I think - it's now supposed to be calle Pseudomuscari azureum,

cheers

Hello Fermi,
The plants really look similar. Mine should be Muscari pseudomuscari (or Pseudomuscari chalusicum). It is a much taller plant with narrower leaves which show up the previous autumn here to overwinter under snow. Pseudomuscari azureum arrives soon after the snow melts together with the leaves and is rather tiny, especially its blue variant. There are nice pictures of both in the Pacific Bulb Society site if you are to compare. Glad you are enjoying your "spring time" which is very promising

An interesting query on a Scilla/Hyacinthella ID  in this thread :

I love to see Muscari at this stage - they are so sculptural at  this  point.
