Some Muscari-like flowers.
The first is Alravia bellii from Iran
Then unidentified Bellevalia sp. from Syria - could be new species
and the last three pictures are of very miniature Bellevalia, resembling pycnantha but from dry spots and very tiny, certainly new species, but not easy to grow - from 5 collected plants now I have only two and the white one was lost, too. At locality it was very sparsely situated and such group of several together was the single one.

I might be a little late in showing this, as it bloomed by the end of March. Nevertheless, the flowers of my Hyacinthella dalmatica are well worth seeing for their sky blue color and dark anthers. But I still wonder whether it might be virused. Any thoughts?

Muscari (Pseudomuscari) inconstrictum in flower earlier this month

Hyacinth mosaic virus is common with Muscari and Hyacinthella.

Muscari macrocarpum - growing in too much shade I think
Might have to move it before next season

Muscari muscarimi - two forms
I think that these are both Muscari muscarimi but the first came to me from Marcus Harvey many years ago, the second came from Hillview last year as Muscari mcbeathianum but I presume it's a yellow form of Muscari muscarimi - unless someone else can give me another identity for it,

I've  always  known that yellow  muscari as M. macrocarpum - but  I  don't  know if that's  correct! 

This  is  what M. mcbeathianum looks  like ....

Could somebody name this muscari for me please.The label has been long lost. I am pretty sure I grew it from seed from the Gothenburg Botanical Seed-ex, some years ago. I am searching through my garden diaries for some past entry. The colours in real life are grey & white.
Thank you.

Hello Edna.  This looks like Muscari pallens, and clearly happy with your conditions.

[Arum]

Thank you Ashley. Yes I was thinking maybe it was M. pallens but in my search of the internet and various books I have never come across another that emerges with such deep colouring.

Flowering now in the Northern hemisphere:
Muscari aucheri 'Autumn Glory' - the autumn flowering variant of M. aucheri.
Most seedlings of this also flower in autumn.
