Lovely little plant! I'm not familiar with this species. Does it stay on the small side (for Scilla)? Great to see blooming plants and new seedlings in the same pot!

Hello Carlo. Yes, this plant stays small for Scilla. See the picture below taken last season. The ruler in the picture is a metric unit.

The  little blues are  cute - after all, what's not to like about blue pollen, shown in a great close-up?

The flower is 16-20mm diam, it's quiet small yes. I repotted it in a new compost elaborated with Wim's piece of land (he'll know) and lots of small sharp grit.

All beauties Yann, but I find them tricky to distinguish.

Here is the first Scilla Siberica that blooms for me in the garden. I have carpets annually.
