Hyacinthella acutiloba, an easy species but i never tried it without glass protection.
Muscari pulchellum, first flowers only 3 years from sowing.
-
Hyacinthella acutiloba is really nice, pretty blue nested in the 3 leaves :)
-
it's still warm and the plants don't last long this year
Muscari leucostomum and Muscari chalusicum
-
Muscari pulchellum, a nice form
-
Pseudomuscari pallens, this one was sourced to the Wallis
-
Bellevialia cyanopoda, from Syria. At least that is what they are supposed to be

It's not, i think it's Bellevalia atroviolacea or related
-
With this upright foliage I'd suggest B. paradoxa.
-
Bellevalia trifoliata and Bellevalia romana
-
Start to be a bit far from Muscari but I think it's still close enough to be publised here
Brimeura fastigiata, a pink form from southern Corsica, and a more white, nearly bluish one from central Corsica
-
Hi Yvain ,
interesting to see that your Brimeura fastigata is flowering same time :)
My plants are pure white ....
Maybe we should swap seeds later ?
Cheers

-
a late Bellevalia glauca, typical leaf of this species.
-
In June I had the first flowering on Muscari sivrihisardaghlarensis but the other muscari in that pot turned out to be these dark flowered muscari which have only come into flower now. I presume they are some form of Muscari neglectum but if anyone has another suggestion please let me know,
cheers

Another mystery muscari which came labelled as an allium!

What a disappointment- especially if you'd already written that mega name on the label!!

It's time to visit the ophthalmologist :o

Muscari weissii originally from Marcus Harvey's Hillview Rare Plants Nursery.
Apparently it's now a Leopoldia

indeed now Leopoldia weissii

It depends if you recognize the genus Leopoldia or not. I don't as other taxonomists.

I wasn't aware of any controversies about this genius.
-
The position of Leopoldia has long been discussed. It seems now that no strict differences within Muscari s.l. appear and Leopoldia should be considered at the most like a subgenera. See : https://www.botanyconference.org/engine/search/index.php?func=detail&aid=373
Speta who splitted genus Scilla was also for only one genus Muscari and the last and nearly only published phylogeny of Muscari treated Leopoldia as a subgenus (Dizkirici · 2019)

Just finished the reading of the document, very interesting.
Leopoldia subgenus is phylogenetically separated from the
other studied subgenera in the concatenated and matK tree
(98% and 97% bootstrap values, respectively) but its position
was not clearly recognized in the trees constructed based on
non-coding regions. Leopoldia species were paraphyletic and
form two sister clades (Clade C and D, Fig. 1), with the clade
C appeared in sister position to M. mirum. Leopoldia may be
distinguished by using several morphological characters

How do we cultivate Muscari spreizenhoferi ?
I found this species in our SAJA plant fair, and I simply planted it in a raised bed, outdoors.
this spring it did not bloom.
now it has beautiful new leaves.
I did not find much information on its needs.
would it be better in a greenhouse?

The plant is a Cretan endemic ( Mediterranean island plants can be more tender) - and flourishes on the nursery of Oron Peri in Israel - so perhaps some winter protection is the answer.

From Zdenek Zvolanek:
"We are pleased with cooperation of fine Swede Johan Nilson. He helped us with new splendid cultivar of Pseudomuscari (Bellevalia) forniculatum ´Anglarna´from the BG Gothenburgh stable. It will be published in Spring Skalničky article by Václav Jošt."

Véronique, greenhouse for this species, it doesn't like too much water and needs good ventilation. In the wild it grows in very sandy soisl, and often in pure sand and rocks chips. South of Crete.
-
Bellevalia forniculata and its cultivar are an extraordinary blue. :P
thank you Yann and Maggy for the advice.
not a bell therefore, if it must remain airy.
I moved 1 in a pot and in the greenhouse.
For the other 3 I hesitate, because they seem installed, with already 3 leaves applied to the ground. the place is stony; over-raised, but even a roof will not prevent moisture from coming in by capillary action.
that said, they made it through last winter but did not flower.
I am amazed at their large bulb 3.5 cm in diameter compared to the small leaves.
-
not the best light for photo but Muscari pulchellum started to show their spikes, more to come this week end.
