Hyacinthus orientalis var. albulus Roman Hyacinth

[partisangardener]

The garden I found it was by a ruin of a farmhouse. Originally built approximately 19th century. There where few gardenplants left: some narcissus, a few tulips and this hyacinth (quite a lot)between brambles and urtica and sambucus.
I don't belief this will be a "new" selection by human standards. I did not identify them there as hyacinths and took only one small clump for later identification. There were only leafs at this time.

That's the way they are looking today. In the background a plant of the blue variation I bought from netherlands. I will try to cross them.

Axel, the Roman Hyacinth we have in the garden here are not quite ready for pictures, but this is onbe we found in an old rubbish tip near a park in central Bulgaria. It is like ours,though possibla little more robust.

Now they are in bloom again. I hope the pictures are this time better to proof that this is no ordinary domestic form. The other flower (blue) is from a garden form which grew some years outside and developed some original features. To show the size I placed a meter (cm) in the picture.
The last blue one is a specimen I bought as the wild form of orientalis. It is a bit stronger and later flowering (maybe due to first flowering, planted autumn last year ).

Axel, the ones we have in the garden are flowering now. They look to be the same as yours.

I think mine are more diminutive. Especially the leafs are a lot smaller. Could you please place some kind of scale beside a flower.
They flower above the leafs.

The stems on the ones here will elongate over the next few days. I will try to measure them tomorrow.
