Scilla and relatives 2024
« on: March 20, 2024, 07:20:59 AM »
Thanks to a kind forumist, Hyacinthoides reverchonii flowers here.



Occasionally, there are such pale blue flowers on Scilla / Chionodoxa sardensis.

Thank You, Leena! Though the plant is rather small, it certainly has its charmes.  :)

Scilla lilio-hyacinthus seems happy in my garden.

A few from the Southern Hemisphere's spring:
1) Scilla vicentina VH719 Portugal ex KV2017
2) A bluebell which appeared in a bed well away from other bluebells which are all the Spanish type or the hybrid but could this be the "true British/English/Irish/Scottish" bluebell?
3) Scilla bithynica

Hi Fermi, I think the hybrids occasionally may look very much the same like the species. Yet the plant You show has a more open flower, not like typical Hyacinthoides non-scripta with its narrow shape.  Some German specimens, by the way. ;)

Hi Mariete,
I think it must be a hybrid because I've never had the true Hyacinthoides non-scripta here.
This one just looks more like the "true" bluebell,

Right now the "Peruvian Squill", Scilla peruviana (which is being shifted to Oncostema) is in flower
