Narcissus, Galanthus and Iris all have their own threads. This leaves a lot flowering currently that do not get a mention as there are too few to warrant a topic on their own.
I have the following flowering today. The first and third are Muscari from Turkey where I collected seed in 1999. The second I think is Muscari ambrosiacum, but not sure.
-
Here I know what I am looking at.
The main pot is Merendra soboliferum, purchased last year from Leonid Bondarenko. In the pot to the left is Scilla rosenii
-
With the sunny weather there will be nothing for the early AGS Shows
First two are Narcissus cordubensis (Bulbs were obtained at a Fritillaria Show at Wisley, when Wisley were selling off their surplus bulbs after repotting).
Tulip is Tulipa cretica
Tulip unknown

Wow Arthur, so this is a good day! your muscari are beautiful!

Fortunately? they are not multiplying rapidly like the muscari sold as garden plants.
I think I was very fortunate to collect seed of these. I have another muscari that I will post later - not yet up - that is a very odd colour. Everyone who sees it wants it.
-
I just love the possible ambrosiacum, and the almost black third one is wonderful as well. I'd grow them in a heartbeat, even if they did multiply healthily. ;D
Narcissus cordubensis is adorable. I do so love those smaller species types.
Great pics everyone. 8)

The photos are fantastic Arthur, I was wondering about your Merendera Soboliferum though. Does it always flower with it's leaves? The bulb that I have named that flowers on it's own, alot like a Colchicum. Your Scilla Rosenii is amazing, did you grow it from seed? I've never had any luck germinating it.
-
Both bulbs were bought from Leonid Bondarenko.
The Merendra bloomed before the leaves. but the flowers have lasted very well.
There are 2 more Scilla to flower
-
I have Colchicum soboliferum, (which I bought as Merendera sobolifera from Bob Brown at CGF), but it produces its leaves first, and they are virtually white.

What you are missing from the Muscari ambrosiacum, is the scent. People pay fortunes for French perfumes, but they would be hard pressed to match this.
-
My Colchicum soboliferum are pink but on all flowers the tubes this year are very loose
-
This is a great thread to cover everything other than the usual suspects.
When I bought Anenome eranthoides little did I know what would appear from the little rock hard tubers. I should have bought more! Does anyone know if it can grow outside?
-
Where did you buy that? It is a wonderful colour.
-
I think it came from Paul Christian

Arthur, Lovely selection of bulbs. Paddy

Mark, when I bought it last year, I was told to grow it outside. It's a plants which dies off like bulbs.
When it comes out I hope to remember and show it.

From the greenhouse today Romulea tempskyana, and yes I did notice the aphid on the bottom right hand leaf and action has been taken!
-
And a nice one it is David ! (not talking about the Aphid of course ;D)
-
That's a nice "Crocus" David. This blue is beautiful.
(Continentals don't talk about aphids, ;D )
-
Luit when they are over I will move the tubers to a trough
