Muscari sivrihisardaghlarensis, JJA 690.800. Turkey, Sivrihisardag.

I wonder from whom you recieved this plant?
I plan to go to Sivrihisar this spring.

[Maggi Young]

Arda, the  JJA 690.800  tells us that the plant was grown from seed  from a collection from Jim Archibald  - there is an archive of Archibald  material in the main SRGC Website, as well as a  thread in the forum showing plants grown from  seed  from Jim Archibald -  who died some years ago - he was perhaps the  most famous of the private seed collectors  of our time.
 when he posted these photos to the Archibald  thread, YT  wrote :

690.800 : Muscari sivrihisardaghlarensis * Turkey, Sivrihisardag. A recently described species. Flowers dark violet with large white, constricted lobes which then flare at the mouth.

  Seeds from: Jenny Archibold EXCLUSIVE SEEDS : JANUARY 2011

As I read about him, I admired him. May he rest in peace.

From that I understand that, only sivrihisardaghlariensis source is JJA seeds at the moment?

[Maggi Young]

I imagine that such a rare plant is not available anywhere. It is surely protected now.
