Title: Hyacinths - wild species - 2013
Post by: Janis Ruksans on April 14, 2013, 01:24:49 PM

I'm not much growing hyacinths, but I like wild species.
In this entry Hyacinthus litwinowii - easy identifiable by its wide leaves. It is growing wild in Kopet-Dag mountains. On first picture specimen collected by me in Iran, on second samer species but collected on same ridge, but in Turkmenistan - so more to North. The third one I got from Jim Archibald and it looks close to Iranian type.

I understand why you like these wild species, Janis - there is a charming variation.
