Scilla and relative 2021

[Karaba]

Hyacinthoides flahaultiana
or at least, this is how I received (bought) it. It is so closed to Hyacinthoides mauritanica from northern Morocco (see Yann's picture from 2020) that I now have some doubt. At the moment, pedicel is shorter than bracts and this is more a caracter from H. mauritanica. In a other point of view, H. mauritanica from southern Portugal looks very different with the leaves protrate or lying on the ground and is in flower in mars-april-may with a very corymbiform inflorescence. It's very confusing and I understand why there was so many confusion between the two !

Hyacinthoides arisitidis
This one has so lighting blue !

Bought as Scilla ingridae ssp. taurica, I'm afraid that it is just a Scilla siberica. It seems however more tiny (only 1 or 2 flower by scape) and earlier than other siberica. Any comments ?

siberica very few doubt.

Scilla morisii, i grow them under sunny greenhouse location, in the wild it grows under shade among rocks.
Scilla messaniaca, from mister Vickery seeds, sow 6 years ago

Thanks Yann for confirming Scilla siberica, tant pis !

Scilla nana is starting to clump and is nice this year, better when not eaten by slugs...

[Véronique Macrelle]

nice..

but 6 years for flowered ?

[Akke]

Scilla armena didn’t mind freezing and is starting to bloom.
Scilla nana looks lovely.

Scilla armena didn’t mind freezing and is starting to bloom.

This one is still missing...

Scilla morisii also start blooming here, and also Scilla albanica (thanks Yann)

[Karaba]

Looking at Yann's picture of Scilla messaniaca, it seems that one of the two Scilla messenica/albanica need to be re-identified or there is a tiny difference that i didn't catch !

[Karaba]

Indeed, the differences between the two species are very slight. Both are sometimes in the new (ugly) genus Schnarfia
(from Barina et al. Taxonomy of Scilla albanica Turrill (Asparagaceae))

[Mariette]

A lost-label scilla from Turkey. Any suggestions?

[Karaba]

Not easy with this only picture (even with differents ones, it's not easy !) but it could be Scilla (Othocallis) ingridae

[Mariette]

Thank You, Yvain! I´m well aware of the difficulties concerning scilla, and I´m no specialist at all! What strikes me is that the flowers have a rather flat form, the inner side being lighter coloured than the outer. Stronger bulbs produce 1 stalk with 2 flowers and a shorter stalk with 1 from a pair of leaves. Perhaps these additional pics are helpful?

nice..

Yes
