Hello, a seedling of Muscari from 'Rosy Sunrise' has started to bloom here :) This plant is especially early among its sister seedlings in a pot. The seeds were from JJA Seeds and described on seedlist as below.

"From a new selection made by Augis Dambrauskas and considered to be the deepest pink muscari yet. Soft-pink buds open to deeper pink flowers. This selection has been derived from an undescribed species, allied to Muscari armeniacum, which occurs around Nalchik in the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (next to North Ossetia in the North Caucasus)."

Wow, Tatsuo.  Great colour.  Better pink than I think I've seen in a Muscari before?  Not that I've ever seen a decent pink in real life. ::)

Thanks for the pics, and congratulations on flowering the seedling.  Hopefully the first of many to come, and in a good range of pinks.  ;D
Cheers.

Excellent seedling and most important - looks virus free - greatest problem of those stocks allied with this species nova, but it isn't ally of armeniacum. M. armeniacum allways forms leaves in autumn (here, but I think in Holland and in other places, too), this one generally only in spring, so are not damaged by winter frosts and looks far better. All shape of plant and flower spike looks far different from M. armeniacum. There are 3 original clones, collected in wild. Rosy Sunrise is selection from seedlings of White-rose Beauty with more prominent pink shade, selected by Dambrauskas from thousands of seedlings (another one is Pink Sunset - later, but a little paler - intensity of color depends from temperature, in cool weather it is brighter, and soil must be slightly on acid side - then again color is brighter). Those clones produce seedlings of quite constant color and I started their sowing, too - just to make those color types free from viruses.

A very pretty muscari Tatsuo. If it matures as a deeper pink, will you show another picture please?

Paul, I will do hand pollinate it and donate to next seed-ex if they'll put seeds.

Janis, thank you very much for your further information of this muscari. I've already copied your description to my PC ;D

Lesley, thank you :) I will ;)

First muscari in the bulb house - could be anatolicum?

Not a muscari, but think I could post here - a pot of Bellevalia rixii.  This pot has had buds for the last four years, but they have always aborted.  I think this year I am going to be lucky

Is this right here?

Hyacinthella glabrescens. Perhaps a little tatty around the edges-much like me really ;D

She is a little stunner David.

A close relative of muscari is Bellevalia eigii from Jordan. The picture shows a close-up of the inflorescense.
