Is it because it is in the greenhouse that it is in bloom? Would the garden do the same with frost (I speak in hyper-draining garden)?
-
Yes i grow them in a greenhouse, the wet winter of our region will kill them in few days. This one is from Cyprus, a very different climate 8)

Could it be scilla litardierei? I remember the first time i saw this flower - when it was in bud I began to think it was a muscari. It changes quite markedly when the flowers open. Very beautiful, in any case.

Another mystery plant I receiveds from Vera Peck in 1996, the label says Gagea bithynica. I never doubted the genus as like the rest of the Gageas this one never flowered until this year. More when it opens.
Very slow as you can see, from 1 bulb to 5 in 21 years, likely I'm to blame thinking it was a Gagea.
My notes says ex a Czech friend, c,w,; she got a lot from Vladimir Vasak but she as a Czech herself had so many contacts there it's hard to say who the collector was.

I couldn't decide which picture to show so here is a sequence taken between the 1st and the 16th of April.
The pink is Muscari 'Pink Sunrise'
The white is Muscari 'White Magic'
Muscari 'touch of Snow' bicolour
and the lovely shiny dark blue is Muscari 'Blue Diamond'
There are a couple of rogues in there - a pale blue one at the back and the big one in the centre which has multiple small flowers on small stalks from the main stem
-
Well the mystery plant in Reply 39 has extended and this may be opened. It's quite a bit darker than shown.

1) Muscari (syn Pseudomuscari) inconstrictum grown from AGS Seedex 2009;
2) Muscari commutatum from Goteborg Botanic Garden 2010; coll Greece; one of the plants in the pot is different with lighter coloured flowers - is it just variation or an interloper?
3) close up of "normal" flower;
4) close up of lighter flower;
What do others think?
cheers

Any forms of M. commutatum that I've seen had dark teeth as well as a constricted mouth Fermi :-\
The white teeth of the Gothenburg plants might suggest M. neglectum or something similar. Both nice though, whatever you want to call them ;) ;D

The autumn flowering Muscari aucheri Autumn Glory is flowering quite good this autumn.
The flowers start in September and continue until March. All pics from today.
The first two pics are from a pot placed in an open frame and the others are from the open garden.

Nice Muscari for the autumn. I did not know that it exists and I have never heard or red about it.

Thanks Stefan.
It is mentioned in Rod Leeds book Autumn Bulbs.
The history about it is in short form:
In the the 1950'es Ray Cobb received some Muscari aucheri bulbs from Ronald Ginns.
Some of them flowered in the autumn and these were selected by Ray and he named them Autumn Glory and distributed them under that name. I was so lucky to get 2 of these bulbs from Ray via a kind SRGC forum member.
Some years later I contacted Ray Cobb directly, and got the story from him. He also send me some bulbs of another selection, which he named Winter Cheer. As the name indicates, these flower later than Autumn Glory, but before the regular aucheri.
Ray mentioned that they could be hybrids, but he was not sure.
Autumn Glory and Winter Cheer are both self fertile and I have seedlings of both, but I cannot say if they are autumn flowering too. The Autumn Glory seedlings flowered for the first time in this spring, but until now no autumn flowers has appeared.

Thanks Poul! Now I understand, why I haven't seen it in any bulb list.
-
Muscari armeniacum is flowering!
-
I have some "grape hyacinths" in flower at present. Don't know what they are but nothing special, except I thought last year when I planted them they were a pale blue. This year they are much darker; the usual mid/dark blue. Another group I have are nowhere near flowering yet so can't check if I have the 2 groups confused.
