Post by: Mark Griffiths on January 16, 2016, 08:29:42 PM: Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I got AGS seed as Hyacinthus orientalis ssp chionophyllus but I think that it's Hyacinthus orientalis. I would prefer the ssp having seen Tony Willis's photo but at least it looks like it might be the wild orientalis. Lovely scent.

Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: johnralphcarpenter on March 22, 2016, 11:48:54 PM: Probably.
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: JSzymon on March 29, 2016, 11:11:56 PM: If anyone still has them blooming, can you take a sniff? For science?

I just noticed that the local patches ARE fragrant, a curious almost medicine-y fruity fragrance. I never actually bothered to pick enough to get a whiff. Or am I just hallucinating?
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Maggi Young on March 30, 2016, 10:43:54 AM: Apart from the famously highly scented Muscari - macrocarpum , muscarimii etc, I find that the other, smaller types, from the ubiquitous "grape Hyacinths " which multiply so freely to all other muscari,and psuedomuscari species are pleasantly fragranced. Delightful bulbs indeed.

Quite a collection Ruben! Do you grow them all outside?

I'm very fond of grape hyacinths.
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Yann on April 04, 2016, 09:06:57 PM: Tatsuo your mcbeathianum plant is wonderful.
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Claire Cockcroft on April 06, 2016, 11:54:48 PM: I'm generally not a big fan of muscari, but looking at all the close-up pictures prompted me to go out and look at mine. This little one is a seedling off M. armeniacum 'Valerie Finnis' and is rather charming.
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: johnralphcarpenter on April 08, 2016, 07:46:59 PM: Muscari armeniacum 'Valerie Finnis' is flowering here too. Sorry, lousy photo.
Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Tristan_He on April 09, 2016, 05:15:51 PM: Not nearly as choice as those already featured, but here are my Muscari latifolium in the rockery. Still a beautiful and distinctive plant, and seeds around without being a nuisance.

White and blue forms of Muscari azureum.

Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Tiggrx on May 12, 2016, 09:52:12 PM: I found this extremely pale blue Muscari in my garden today in a spot where I haven't planted any. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be? Sorry I forgot to photograph the leaves while I was at it.
I have a suspicion it might have grown from some bulbs that I planted in this area as Hyacinthoides italica last autumn as I've seen no sign of them.

Post by: fermi de Sousa on August 14, 2016, 01:00:06 PM: I raised this from seed as Muscari azureum but it seems to match the pics of Pseudomuscari chalusicum on PBS wiki http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Pseudomuscari (http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Pseudomuscari)

Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016

Title: Re: Muscari & relatives 2016
Post by: Yann on November 18, 2016, 07:21:57 PM: comosa 'Plumosum' was so fashion in the 70-80's, nowadays it's almost extinct in the french gardens, but i guess also in other countries?

Yes, Yann,
Likewise here - I don't think I'd seen it for ages, which is why I decided to buy some when I saw it on offer - when it was popular it was also a bit too pricey for a poor student to afford ;D
I think it's mostly grown for "novelty value"!
