On first three pictures are Hyacinthella, but quality too poor for some ideas.

Nice Muscari neglectum form from Crimea know as M. dolioliforme, too but generally the last name is regarded as synonim
Laigh blue is most likely new species from very high altitudes in NE Turkey
About last I even don't know from where it comes and don't know its name - I gave it nickname "sausage" muscari. May be someone can help me to identify?

The first three - are Hyacinthellas
Hyacinthella acutiloba
Hyacinthella heldreichii
and Hyacinthella sirtensis

Then 2 Muscari
Two different stocks of anatolicum from Turkey
and Muscari pseudomuscari from Iran collected during Swedish-Latvian-Iranian Zagros expedition (SLIZE)

Janis your Hyacinthella are really nice,H.heldreichii is my favourite,but i think the Muscari anatolicum SASA-328 is fantastic.

Fantastic photos everyone!!

Of particular note.... Tatsuo's glorious pink and white one, Ashley's wonderful purple, and Janis' blacks.  So many I've never seen or heard of before.

Thanks everyone. 8)
Cheers.

I have been trying to reclaim my very neglected garden into some sort of order and am finding quite a few treasures hiding among the weeds. I would appreciate anybody's opinion on these three Muscari

1. The flower shape puts me in mind of M. botryoides but seems very pale and the leaves don't seem right
2. Muscari commutatum?
3. Think this one originally came as M. neglectum white form but don't think it is. Maybe M. auchadra (= M. commutatum white form)?

Thanks for any help

Very nice pictures, everyone. I never knew there was such a variety of Muscaris. Here they are all still in bud, the one that has come furthest is M. latifolium.
