Chionodoxa cretica

Okay, not a true Scilla but it is closely related. The flower is quite attractive when viewed up close.

Steve, your pictures are always so clear and vivid 8) I like such close shot, too.

Scilla ingridiae, a seedling with deeper flower colour and lighter centre than the others.
When I obtained the seeds from JJA 2004 October list, this scilla was listed as ‘877.750 SCILLA SIBERICA subsp. TAURICA’. Later, it was identified as ‘874.009 SCILLA INGRIDIAE’ on the final, 2011 January list.

Many thanks Tatsuo San!
I think all the credit lies with my Japanese-made camera!  ;)

In spite of various papers changing the names of several Scilla to Fessia, dating from  1998   - http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/browse/A/Asparagaceae/Fessia/  and the PBS  making  a new page for Fessia - http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Fessia -   and a valient attempt in the Forum in 2010 - 
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=5041.0   - I think most of us are sticking with Scilla for such plants as
Fessia greilhuberi, syn. Scilla greilhuberi
Fessia hohenackeri, syn. Scilla hohenackeri,
Fessia puschkinioides, syn. Scilla puschkinioides

- hard to change old habits, isn't it?  :-X

Scilla bifolia, a common plant but a nice robust form from Northern Greece which does well from seed.
