Scilla? I think

[shelagh]

Since we altered the garden last year several plants were put in pots and this one's label has gone. I think it must be a Scilla, can any one help.

Scilla rosenii ?

It certainly could be Maggi, but I don't remember the name.

To me it looks like Scilla cilicica.  Or possibly one of the species that have now been included in Fessia, greilhuberi and hohenhakeri.  I'm not enough of a botanist to tell these three apart, but they all have the swept back petals and extruded stamens.  One of the three, which came to me as greilhuberi, is now a weed in parts of my garden.  Both S. cilicica and S. greilhuberi are shown in my account of the Loughborough Show.

Thanks  Jon!

Now  I  have  a  better  look at Shelagh's  pic I  see the  leaves are  a  bit too  narrow for  S. rosenii.
