Post by: Maggi Young on February 02, 2018, 08:50:48 PM
Arda, the  JJA 690.800  tells us that the plant was grown from seed  from a collection from Jim Archibald  - there is an archive of Archibald  material in the main SRGC Website, as well as a  thread in the forum showing plants grown from  seed  from Jim Archibald -  who died some years ago - he was perhaps the  most famous of the private seed collectors  of our time.
 when he posted these photos to the Archibald  thread, YT  wrote :
690.800 : Muscari sivrihisardaghlarensis * Turkey, Sivrihisardag. A recently described species. Flowers dark violet with large white, constricted lobes which then flare at the mouth.

  Seeds from: Jenny Archibold EXCLUSIVE SEEDS : JANUARY 2011

As I read about him, I admired him. May he rest in peace.

From that I understand that, only sivrihisardaghlariensis source is JJA seeds at the moment?

Pink muscari with wrong tag. My guess is  ‘Gul’ or perhaps ‘Rosey Sunrise’ but i think the latter  blooms later?
Any ideas?

Hello, Rimmer. Where did your pink muscari come from? That looks similar to "JJA 688.012 : MUSCARI ARMENIACUM from PINK FORM".
It is described as "From a selection made in Turkey by Bob & Rannveig Wallis over a decade ago. This has now been named ‘Gul’, Turkish for rose." on the JJA Master List of Seed Numbers (download the pdf file here (http://files.srgc.net/archibald/seedlists/JJA_seedlist_master_SRGC.pdf))
I posted the pictures of it several times on this forum before.

Hi Tatsuo
It had the wrong tag, got mixed up in the move  but since there are so mamy it must have been a potfull of seedlings and Gul gave the most seeds so I think you are correct as my other pink forms are blooming now. Probably from the Wallis’s.

Hi Tatsuo
Wonderful!
How do you grow this plant.
I have tried several times in fine sand in cold frame while in Michigan and it never lasted long.
Now i cannot find a source.

I have a Muscari macrocarpum that has bulked up from 1, in  2016 to 6 plants this year however exch time it has flowered as soon as all the flowers have opened it falls over. The stem is not strong enough to support the weight.  Any ideas why it does this?

Title: Re: Muscari 2018
Post by: Maggi Young on April 26, 2018, 03:06:42 PM
Good question!
In cultivation it seems to me that good forms will make very large flower heads- which must be hard to support.
Perhaps  there is not enough moisture being taken up /applied at this time to enable the stems to  hold the flowers?  Quite how to get the roots to be able to enable a greater uptake of  fluid to strengthen the stems is another  question. :-\

I have my M. macrocarpum growing among some Ornithogalum  umbellatum.
The foliage of the Ornithogalums seem to hold the large flower heads of the M. macrocarpum erect.

Not sure how they grow in habitat but it may be an answer.

Heinz-Harald's M. macrocarpum growing outside  certainly have nice short stems - which probably helps in keeping them upright.

Hallo Maggi, I got the bulbs of M. macrocarpum late in autumn and planted they late in November, maybe is this the reason of the short stems. I was very surprised about the frostresistence of this variety, I thought, that they are more fragile!
Also Bellevalia I planted first time and they are hardy also, one of the flowerstems are dubbled!

This very dark muscari was grown from seed as M. commutatum but last year someone on the Forum questioned that and the consensus seems to be that it most likely a form of Muscari neglectum.
The beastie which is obvious on a flower in the close-up is the dreaded red-legged earth mite >:(

Hi Luc,
yes, last year when I posted pics of it Ashley said that it was most likely M. neglectum.
The ones in the pic were planted out a few years ago and have proliferated so will require relocating!

Muscari armeniacum ex 'Gul' AGS Seedex 2008 - pics taken over 3 days.
There has been discussion before about the naming of the parent of these seedlings. I believe that the Wallises named it 'Gul' but as that is simply Turkish for "pink" or "rose" someone said that they could not use it and so they decided on 'Gul Delight'. However in all discussion of it recently I've just seen it called 'Gul'. As these are seedlings they cannot be called by the same name so I just label them ex 'Gul (Delight)'
