This one came as seeds labelled as Scilla monanthos and they are the earliest blooming outside but they do not have a very prominent dark mid rib on the pale blue petals.

This pure white form of Scilla bifolia was offered as weeker growing than the usual ones - in fact it looks much more substantial than the bulk of them growing in my garden.
For comparison on the left is what I got as Scilla bifolia var. taurica, a plant found growing in Crimea a long time ago, usually a much chunkier version of the ordinary Scilla bifolia. Janis Ruksans described in Buried Treasures a similar looking Scilla he discovered there - does anybody know whether they are the same?

Are Muscari allowed on this thread? If so...

Muscari azureum, grown from the seedex.



Another Muscari (is it the white form of azureum?). I think this came from IKEA of all places!
