Can't help Otto, I'm sorry but a quick note to say my xChionoscillas from Marcus are flowering beautifully at present. I ordered them because I was so taken with yours, a year ago. Such a wonderfully intense blue. :)

Otto,
The Scilla from Syria is S. cilicica, you can confirm it easily by looking at the color of the bulb: a unique dark purple.
