Here is my first muscari about to flower this year Muscari coeleste KPPZ.90-318
-
Muscari inconstrictum,i really like this one.
-
Both very nice little things Dave.
-
I agree with David. They are really nice.
-
Thanks chaps there will be a few more in the next couple of days.

Hello, a seedling of Muscari from 'Rosy Sunrise' has started to bloom here :) This plant is especially early among its sister seedlings in a pot. The seeds were from JJA Seeds and described on seedlist as below.
"From a new selection made by Augis Dambrauskas and considered to be the deepest pink muscari yet. Soft-pink buds open to deeper pink flowers. This selection has been derived from an undescribed species, allied to Muscari armeniacum, which occurs around Nalchik in the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (next to North Ossetia in the North Caucasus)."
-
Wow, Tatsuo. Great colour. Better pink than I think I've seen in a Muscari before? Not that I've ever seen a decent pink in real life. ::)
Thanks for the pics, and congratulations on flowering the seedling. Hopefully the first of many to come, and in a good range of pinks. ;D

Excellent seedling and most important - looks virus free - greatest problem of those stocks allied with this species nova, but it isn't ally of armeniacum. M. armeniacum allways forms leaves in autumn (here, but I think in Holland and in other places, too), this one generally only in spring, so are not damaged by winter frosts and looks far better. All shape of plant and flower spike looks far different from M. armeniacum. There are 3 original clones, collected in wild. Rosy Sunrise is selection from seedlings of White-rose Beauty with more prominent pink shade, selected by Dambrauskas from thousands of seedlings (another one is Pink Sunset - later, but a little paler - intensity of color depends from temperature, in cool weather it is brighter, and soil must be slightly on acid side - then again color is brighter). Those clones produce seedlings of quite constant color and I started their sowing, too - just to make those color types free from viruses.

A very pretty muscari Tatsuo. If it matures as a deeper pink, will you show another picture please?
-
Paul, I will do hand pollinate it and donate to next seed-ex if they'll put seeds.
Janis, thank you very much for your further information of this muscari. I've already copied your description to my PC ;D
Lesley, thank you :) I will ;)
-
First muscari in the bulb house - could be anatolicum?
Not a muscari, but think I could post here - a pot of Bellevalia rixii. This pot has had buds for the last four years, but they have always aborted. I think this year I am going to be lucky
-
Is this right here?
Hyacinthella glabrescens. Perhaps a little tatty around the edges-much like me really ;D
-
She is a little stunner David.
Heres "Muscari Adilii" from PC - querying the name - now thought to be Muscari leucostomum
-
A close relative of muscari is Bellevalia eigii from Jordan. The picture shows a close-up of the inflorescense.

Janis that is the reason why i put the photo up,could you have a guess at the species for me,i was waiting for your comment thank you.
-
I like that Bellevalia eigii Luc; is it easy?
Here mild weather x low light levels = etiolation :(
Hyacinthella heldreichii (x2)
Muscari anatolicum seedlings about to flower for the first time
M. leucostomum
M. sivrihisardaglarensis (?)
-
Great Muscaris and Hyacinthella Asley,
And I am glad M. sivrihisardaghlariensis has blue flower buds this time :)
-
Thanks Arda.
In fact this is the one I showed before, on the left ;)
However, because it began flowering in December during extremely cold weather I suspect that its development was abnormal.
-
Janis that is the reason why i put the photo up,could you have a guess at the species for me,i was waiting for your comment thank you.
Sorry, not easy to identify. Several could match, much more must be known than seen on picture. And... I'm not so keen in Muscari. Sorry.

A very pretty muscari Tatsuo. If it matures as a deeper pink, will you show another picture please?
The earliest flowering seedling from 'Rosy Sunrise' posted on 9th Feb. is fading its colour :( but the second flowering plant looks better than the first one, more flowers on a spike and slightly deeper pink :)
-

Very good. The fading of pink is usual for this strain. As I wrote before - color is brighter in cooler weather and in more acid soils.
Janis
-
Arda, Thanks :) I love these pink grapes.
Janis, thank you for your advices. The soil in this muscari pot is acidic ;) but temperatures rise warmer than usual here...
-
I like that Bellevalia eigii Luc; is it easy?
Ashley, it is one of the plants of Jim A. I bought last year, and I'm not certain how it will behave in a cold spell. It is in the protection of a greenhouse at the moment.
@ Arthur.
The overall height is about 20cm. I'll see if I can make a picture of the plant.
-
Thanks Luc. Unfortunately in trying to exercise some self-control when ordering from Jenny Archibald's latest seed list this is one I left out :'(
May I join the queue in case you have a few seeds to spare in due course?
-
Luc,
That Bellevalia eigii is a cracker. I love the shape of the buds, just about bursting to open. So distinctive (or to my eye at least). Very, very nice.
Thanks for the great photos everyone. I noticed today here the first shoots of Muscari just starting to push through. Probably a few others that I haven't noticed in the garden itself, but these were in pots. 8)
-
Muscari leucostomum from JJA Seeds (#689.851 ex Tadjikistan). I got this #689.851 seeds instead of "#689.850 ex Turkmenistan" on September 2008 list. It would be great if someone who knows further information tells me about it.

An another pink muscari selection; Muscari species nova 'Early Rose' from Janis.

Tatsuo that is lovely,one i will be ordering off janis.

Extremely beautiful :o :o
-
Hyacinthella dalmatica 'Grandiflora'
-
Tatsuo,
what a fantastic little plant. And a very good picture you made.
-
Do you cultivated it under glass? Because it is very early or is this normal for you Tatsuo?
-
Thanks Onion :) I'm growing small bulbs outside, on the bench by south-facing wall just under the eaves. I checked last season's record and blooming time of this plant was same as this seasn ;)
-
A couple from me today and an unnamed could somebody please id it for me.
1 Muscari Discolor
2 Muscari Azureum
3 Muscari ?
-
Beautiful plants 8)
I really admire how 'tight' your muscari are grown Tatsuo. Here the combination of lower light intensity and mild temperatures makes that very difficult to achieve.
Davey, your last one looks like M. muscarimi (see e.g. here (http://home.tiscali.nl/~hennessy/muscarimi.htm)), but maybe post again when the flowers are more mature. Does it have a scent?
Great crop of seedlings around your azureum. Do you sow back into the same pot?
-
Cheers for that Ashley,it was given to me as M. muscarimi but i don't detect any scent,i will wait for it to mature.Yes i did it for the first time last year(sowed the seed in the same pot as the motherplant) and seems to have worked nicely.
-
Davey - I agree with Ashley on that one, Muscari muscarimi. Here it is in flower 20 Jan 2011, from Archibald seed. The wild blue colour on the tip of the spike reminds me of Lachenalia viridiflora. The scent was not as strong as I recall, M. macrocarpon may be better but I'm not the nose to ask.

Thank you Ashley, my place is in one of the sunniest winter area in Japan and probably fits for growing some spring flowering small bulbs such as Muscari and its relatives ;D But the temperature rises much quicker than your country in spring and jumps up to deadly high in following summer. So I have to give up growing many high altitude and latitude alpines here :(

Muscari leucostomum from JJA Seeds (#689.851 ex Tadjikistan). I got this #689.851 seeds instead of "#689.850 ex Turkmenistan" on September 2008 list. It would be great if someone who knows further information tells me about it.
Afraid that it is not leucostomum, flowers far too light blue.

So cool to see these flowering. Lots of leaves up here, but won't be any flowers for yonks yet!! ::)
-
Not sure of ID.
-
Luc S.
Going back through the thread i have seen your post on the first page.
Your Bellevalia is B. mosheovii and not eigii,
B. mosheovii young flowers are Celeste white with very short pedicals, quite different to those of eigii.
-
a couple of my muscari in flower today
Muscari aucheri from Lake Abant in Turkey
Muscari macrocarpum from Marmaris Turkey

Never heard of that one Oron. It was ID't by Jim Archibald
Have you a picture of B. eigii ?
-
Luc,
Here is B. eigii.
Photo taken last January.
Bellevalia genus is extremely difficult to ID in this area,
still these two are relatively easy to tell apart.

Fermi, from what I can read on the faded label it is 507b
cheers.
-
Thank you for showing lovely muscaris and its relatives :)
Here is Muscari armeniacum from pink form, JJA list code: 688.012. The seeds were sown Oct. 2004 and its first flower opend in spring 2007.
The descriptions on the seed list were 'A selection made in the wild in Turkey by Bob and Rannveig Wallis over a decade ago and now named 'Gul'. Pinkish white flowers blush to deeper sugar-pink as they mature. Original collection: Turkey, Konya, S of Beysehir Golu. 1100m. Roadside verge. Ex R.& R. Wallis 90-50.'
-
They are fantastic Tatsuo,i love the white with green and a pink finish,if they produce seed can you think of me please.

-
Tony lovely stuff,the last two are pretty special.David that is one hell of a spike on your macrocarpum.
-
..................David that is one hell of a spike on your macrocarpum.
It is isn't it! It's been stuck out of the way at the back of the lower shelf of staging in the greenhouse totally ignored for weeks. Pehaps it thought it would get me to notice it! ;D
-
This is a Muscari latifolium I collected in 1996 and it is still one bulb. Lovely lime green colour goes well with the white top. Would look better as a pot full.

Various ones flowering here now:
Bellevalia forniculata
Muscari anatolicum (x2) Archibald population number 0687950 ex Turkey, Konya, Sultan Dag, 1760m, limestone ridge; sown 10/08
M. grandifolium Archibald pop. no. 0689450 ex Morocco, Middle Atlas, above Ifrane, 1700m
Muscari hybrid? distinctly purple rather than blue (came as M. leucostomum)
M. 'Jenny Robinson'
M. latifolium
M. leucostomum ex Turkmenistan, Kopet Dag; from Janis
Muscari sp. ex Turkey, Burdur (thanks Tony) tiny (7-8 cm) and a beautiful deep wine colour. Can anyone suggest an ID?
-
Wow soooo many nice ones there Ashley can i be greedy and say i like them all lovely stuff,if you don't get an id for the last one send a pic attached to an email to Richard Hobb and Sally Ward they might be able to id it for you.
-
Good idea Davey. Thank you.
-
Lovely collection Ashley.
-
This is a Muscari latifolium I collected in 1996 and it is still one bulb. Lovely lime green colour goes well with the white top. Would look better as a pot full.
My latifolium album didn't increase, too and seedlings were usual blue colored. Original plant got virus and I destroyed it before started increasing with bulb cutting. I reccomend you to make cross-cut with sterilized knife the bottom plate after harvesting up to 1/3 of bulb height - allow to dry and then plant. It works!

I posted this one on Scilla page, but as this concern Muscari, too, I repeat it here:
Usually we are reporting about nice flowers and success, but sometimes I think it would be good to share information about possible problems in garden. Last spring, when Henrik Zetterlund visited my nursery, he spotted out one pot with beautiful and well looking Muscari, with only some black dust (soot) on leaves. He touched the spike and I saw how very fine powder falls out of flowers. So I for the first time saw the fungal disease which Henrik named as Bellevalia & Muscari "flower-soot" which he first saw on B. pycnantha about 25 years ago. It doesn't destroy the plant, but makes it sterile as instead of pollens the anthers produce this soot. The black powder on leaves is the single symptom on Muscari. I immediately destroyed this pot and carefully checked all other Muscari - fortunately no one more showed symptoms.
This spring I was surprised seeing one pot of Scilla bithynica with smaller flowers and black anthers. When I touched this - fell off known before from muscari black powder and then I note deformation of petals, too. So carefull checking of all Scillas followed and I found one pot with S. sibirica caucasica with similar symptoms. They all immediately were mowed to fireplace. Unfortunately I maid picture only from bithynica, was so shocked, that didn't pictured caucasica flowers, but symptoms were similar - deformed petals (although of normal size), fat black anthers issuing very fine black powder.
I immediately sprayed all my plantings with combination of Tilt + Carbendazim - so future pictures can be with some whitish spots on leaves. Tilt is against rust. Henrik suppose that it is some phase of rust (rust fungus has 4 different stages and different spores), but I more think that it could be some of little known fungus from Fumago/Capnodium complex, but my knowledge about those pathogens are 40 years old (when I was student). May be someone of you know something about this disease?
Picture of infected Scilla bithynica you can see on Scilla pages; may be it came with infection from wild as I saw in wild large populations of Fritillaria, Erythronium, juno Iris with heavy infection of rust.

Janis i will check all my plants but can't say i've seen it before.Can i ask about your previous reply to Tony about his alba flower,if i was to collect seed from a virused plant is there any hope the seedlings will be clean of the virus.
-

Usually they are free from virus, but checking is necessary. Some stocks I cleaned only in second generation.

Another entry for both Scilla and Muscari pages:
With great help from Suzan, I found (really Suzan found) article about this fungal disease. From that article I made small extract about the subject. As it is just article relating of systematic topic, I added my opinion how to work with it. Fortunately now we have new systemic fungicides used by farmers on grain crops, which may be will work on bulbs, too.
This patogen belongs to the genus Vankya quite recently seperated from Uromyces, which is quite common disease on various grain crops. I suppose that now Uromyces are regarded as patogen of Dycotylodens and fungus infecting monocots (most of bulbs etc.) now is renamed as Vankya. So I think that systemic fungicides used against Uromyces (by old system) can be useable for bulbs, too. Follows extract from original article (VANKYA VAILLANTII (USTILAGINOMYCETES) ON SCILLA IN CENTRAL EUROPE.) Once more - many thanks to Suzan!
Vankya vaillantii (Tul. & C. Tul.) Ershad (Urocystales,
Ustilaginomycetes) is a parasitic fungus
affecting members of the genera Albuca, Bellevalia,
Chionodoxa, Eucomis, Hyacinthus, Muscari,
Puschkinia, Scilla, Urginea and Ornithogalum
pyrenaicum L. worldwide (Vanky 1994). The
fungus systemically infects anthers of host plants.
The anthers are enlarged, olivaceous-brown, with
sori producing a dark olive brown powdery mass
of spores. Distributed in areas with generally
warm climate in the floodplain woods.

I will add more pictures but unfortunately they won't have a higher quality since I have to take them with my cell. Here are two muscaris. I have no idea about their species.

Nice Muscari neglectum form from Crimea know as M. dolioliforme, too but generally the last name is regarded as synonim
Laigh blue is most likely new species from very high altitudes in NE Turkey
About last I even don't know from where it comes and don't know its name - I gave it nickname "sausage" muscari. May be someone can help me to identify?

Two from me.the first Bellevalia pycnantha and the second is a pot of Muscari botryoides 'Superstar' that i rescued from the bin at a garden center in the bargain area.
-
Among all the muscari and muscari like plants I have seen today this one was the most unique in color
-
The first three - are Hyacinthellas
Hyacinthella acutiloba
Hyacinthella heldreichii
and Hyacinthella sirtensis
Then 2 Muscari
Two different stocks of anatolicum from Turkey
and Muscari pseudomuscari from Iran collected during Swedish-Latvian-Iranian Zagros expedition (SLIZE)
Janis
-
Janis your Hyacinthella are really nice,H.heldreichii is my favourite,but i think the Muscari anatolicum SASA-328 is fantastic.
-
Fantastic photos everyone!!
Of particular note.... Tatsuo's glorious pink and white one, Ashley's wonderful purple, and Janis' blacks. So many I've never seen or heard of before.
Thanks everyone. 8)

I have been trying to reclaim my very neglected garden into some sort of order and am finding quite a few treasures hiding among the weeds. I would appreciate anybody's opinion on these three Muscari
1. The flower shape puts me in mind of M. botryoides but seems very pale and the leaves don't seem right
2. Muscari commutatum?
3. Think this one originally came as M. neglectum white form but don't think it is. Maybe M. auchadra (= M. commutatum white form)?
Thanks for any help
-
Muscari spreizenhoferi from Crete in flower today.
Should be renamed as Leopoldia spreitzenhoferi.

A wonderful scent.
Muscari macrocarpum

Just a reminder folks that the preferred Forum size for pix is 760 pixels wide and that it is helpful to have the plant name in the text of the post so the search engine can find it.

Tony,
that age >17 years for one bulb of Bellevalia sp is amazing! :o
Very strange it has not produced any daughter bulbs :(
Do you get seeds if you self pollinate?

-
A couple of pictures of Muscari pallens, that are blooming here now. Regrettable they are planted in a less than ideal place, and where it is difficult to get good pictures of the whole plant. I will move them to a more appropriate place this year. They were grown from seed from Gardens North in 2004/2005. Their colour is mainly a pale bluish white, with a few that are pale cream.
