Muscari & relatives 2014

[fermi de Sousa]

Time for the"spring" muscari in our garden!
Two little pots of seedling Muscari inconstrictum, the first grown from AGS Seedex 2009, second flowering and the other is from Kurt Vickery also 2009, first flowering.
You can really get a whiff of violets from the first one! (No, not from the pic - Fred hasn't managed the "sniff" button yet!)
cheers

Very nice Fermi.   It's one of my favourite muscari but I never realised it was scented.   
Only six or so months to wait

Still (almost) spring down here, Maggi!
Here's one of the seedlings raised from AGS Seedex from Muscari 'Gul (Delight)'

Dom do we live in the same country?  so soon flowering, mine are just rooting!

[dominique]

yes Yann ! Complicated this year for repotting with a lot of Young root already seen.
All mine grow outdoor in frame or rock garden

Some seedlings  grown from seed received as Muscari commutatum - but one has white "teeth" while the other doesn't.
Is this an acceptable variation or have I got two types of muscari here?

One of my favourites, Muscari muscarima, is just coming into bloom again; still a singleton after a few years

Hi Kris,
it's a sweet thing - do you grow it? I believe it originates from Rannweig Wallis. I got the seeds from the AGS Seedex and I think it comes fairly true from seed. This year I bought Muscari 'Pink Surprise' which I'm yet to flower.
Here's another pot of seedlings "ex 'Gul (Delight)',
cheers

Fermi - I've not had an offset in 17 years.

Does it set seed if self-pollinated? If not, are you brave enough to chip it?? 

[fermi de Sousa]

... are you brave enough to chip it?? 

buk buk buk buk - no one here but us chickens!
I'm waiting to see if some seedlings I have are "true",
cheers

Barnardia scilloides blooming Aug 18 in SE Michigan,

This is the autumn scilla that sends up 0.8cm wide leaves before the flower stems emerge.

this photos show about 6-8 different seed ex lots.  peak day was very windy hence out of focus photo. .

 this is about 1 month earlier than in 2013
