Fermi, nice to see some less common spring flowering Scillas!
Scilla lingulata ciliolate is flowering now in the northern hemisphere.

I got this from Garry Reid, a "local" bulb seller, as a dwarf form of Scilla natalensis back in 2004 - it was potted and unfortunately started to rot! I planted it out in a raised bed and it has slowly recovered and has now come into flower.
I presume it is Merwilla dracomontana but the foliage is rather narrow and the only pic I can find on the interweb shows broad foliage.
What do others think?
cheers

Very nice, Oron. Is it as delicate as it looks?

Paul,
It just looks delicate, i find Prospero autumnale to be a tough plant.
Roland
It does come true from seeds if i manage to isolate it, but quite difficult for me as i grow many forms.
Any way i collect the seeds, the Albino form is recognised from the first year as the leaves have a different color which is unusual bright green.
