Hyacinthella millengrenii
-
Very nice Yann! Where can you get this one?
-
Muscari leucostomum in flower. The earliest Muscari in op garden for me.
-
M. leucostomum is also the first in my garden, first flower started in November !
This one is planted near the house wall, others planted more in the open start just now.
-
Muscari coeleste, from Janis' nursery :)
-
Isn't that beautiful? Such delicately coloured marking, each flower is like a perfect little porcelain bell.
-
Yes, it is, Matt. Sometimes such close-up pictures attract us more than the real plants.
-
Hyacinthella acutiloba
Hyacinthella heldreichii
Hyacinthella lazulina
Muscari inconstrictum
Muscari commutatum
-
Muscari leucostomum JJA689.8500
Muscari commutatum (other form i grow)
-
Many Bellevalia species are in bloom at the moment:
Bellevalia trifoliata
B. sitiaca
B. mauritanica
B. flexuosa [with Ornithogalum neurostegium subsp. eigii]
-
Oron
Bellevalia sitiaca is a beauty - quite unlike most Bellevalia.
I am awaiting the flowering of a couple of unknown Bellevalia, but I don't think I will be lucky to have this beauty among them.
-
One from the greenhouse today Muscari inconstrictum this from seed from Kurt Vickery under the label SL125 Jordon and sown October 2010. Flowering for the first time.
-
It's a nice one isn't it David. Looks like you may have some seed-set too.
I'm pollinating by hand whenever I think of it, but results are patchy maybe because of fluctuating temperatures.
-
4 years to achieve a beauty, well done David
-
Thanks Ashley and Yann. It usually takes me a year longer than anyone else for virtually everything, neglect probably!

Muscari discolor, JJA 689.270. Turkey, Mardin, N of Mardin. 1100m.
-
Muscari azureum, JJA 688.205. Turkey, Kahramanmaras, S of Goksun. 1240m. Cultivated field. Ex. R.& R.Wallis 93-28.
Muscari leucostomum, JJA 689.851. Tadjikistan, no further data. I got the seeds as a substitute for JJA 689.850 but these seedlings don't look like N. leucostomum ???
-
Muscari pseudomuscari, JJA 690.700. Ex. Iran, Mazandaran, S of Chalus. 1500m. Ledges on limestone cliffs.
Hyacinthella dalmatica 'Grandiflora'
-
I am growing from seed (AGS) this hyacinthus species listed as chionophyllus. Leaves at base are more than 10 mm. Tube is longer than perianth segments. I am not sure whether it is orientalis ssp orientalis or orientalis ssp chionophyllus.
Can anyone help?

Some notes from elsewhere in the forum on H. orientalis :
Quote from: Tony Willis on December 29, 2009, 04:57:46 PM
This is Hyacinthus orientalis ssp chionophyllus. I cannot see any difference from ssp orientalis which I also grow. This was discussed earlier in the year.

Tony
these turquoise spots on the tube are typical to this ssp. but the more evident differences are the leaves, which are much wider in ssp. chionophyllus and the lobes are the same length as the tube, while in ssp orientalis they are shorter.
It might be that under the conditions you grow them leaves don't show difference due to lack of sun, but in their natural habitat it is quite easy to notice it.
Beautiful plant!!!

Hyacinthus orientalis.
These plants are grown from seeds collected at low elevation above the Lake of Galilee,
It as an early bloomer, starting mid December. (Oron Peri)
And this question and pictures from Rimmer De Vries last year- which strangely, went unanswered:
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11670.0
"H. orientalis is usually 15-20cm tall in bloom, sometimes more. Leaves four to six, erect, linear to linear-elliptic, 5mm or more wide, more or less channelled. Flowers usually about six to eight but can be fewer or up to twelve, light grey-blue to violet blue, the tubes darker, the lobes one half to four fifths as long as the tube, spreading, then reflexed, spring. Turkey to western Syria, on rocky limestone slopes in scrub, at 400-1600m. H.o. subsp. chionophyllus has leaves 1.2-1.5cm wide and tepal lobes as long as the tube. Turkey, on limestone slopes, screes and cliffs at 1600-2500m, often by melting snow. "

Some plants growing in my bulb house recently
Muscari discolor
Muscari sp.
Muscari muscarimi
Muscari muscarimi - 2 weeks later. Wonderful perfume
-
I wish we had a scent button - We had Fred Admin's beloved Collie, Suzie, staying with us recently and I should have kept her hostage when he came back from his trip to NZ , until he fixed this! ::) ;D
-
I almost thought you were going to say you wanted to click and smell Collie! :o
Having just bathed Moya to remove some unidentified but very smelly bird poo I thought this unlikely :)
Puppies ears on the other hand smell gorgeous!

Muscari discolor, JJA 689.270

This Muscari was grown from seed of 'Pink Sunrise'. I've also got seedlings from 'Gul' but no flowers this year though there was a small flower spike last year.

Both look well established at your place, Oron :)

Muscari armeniacum, ex. pink form :) Grown from hand pollinated seeds of a slightly darker colour seedling selected from JJA 688.012 ::)

Muscari pseudomuscari is not easy for me but one of my favorites
-
these were blooming in late April here
seedlings from "Gul"
it later turned out this bunch was mixed with nice white with blue tint form of pseudomuscari chalusicum.
the large pinkish one i think is "Pink Sunrise"
-
One from the greenhouse today Muscari inconstrictum this from seed from Kurt Vickery under the label SL125 Jordon and sown October 2010. Flowering for the first time.
Here are 2 clones of Muscari inconstrictum, the first was grown from Kurt Vickery in 2009 and sown 29-05-2010, first flower 2014;
the second is from AGS Seedex 2009 and had first flower in 2013,

Muscari pseudomuscari is not easy for me but one of my favorites
Hi Oleg,
I'm not sure if this is the same plant - ours came from a Seedex as Muscari azureum I think - it's now supposed to be calle Pseudomuscari azureum,
cheers

Hello Fermi,
The plants really look similar. Mine should be Muscari pseudomuscari (or Pseudomuscari chalusicum). It is a much taller plant with narrower leaves which show up the previous autumn here to overwinter under snow. Pseudomuscari azureum arrives soon after the snow melts together with the leaves and is rather tiny, especially its blue variant. There are nice pictures of both in the Pacific Bulb Society site if you are to compare. Glad you are enjoying your "spring time" which is very promising

An interesting query on a Scilla/Hyacinthella ID in this thread :
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12719.msg339890#msg339890 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12719.msg339890#msg339890) which may tie in to discussions here.

They don't think that other people would like to 'say' their name, do they? :)
You are right, they are all very lovely, I might start growing some...
