A little Jewel flowering today: Scilla autumnalis Album, a beautiful dwarf form, leaves and stalk are phosphorus green.
Ill try to make clearer photos tomorrow.

That is delightful Oron.

[Paul T]

How cute is that!!    Very nice!!

[WimB]

Very nice, Oron;

I didn't know there was a white form of Scilla autumnalis, where did you get it?

[Anthony Darby]

I have a single white one, but so far it refuses to multiply. I also have another species which resembles autumnalis, but has leaves (more than one per bulb) 1 cm wide and quite short. I think it came from Spain? I will take pics of the leaves later.

Super little plants Oron !!!! 

[Hans A.]

What a beauty!!! - Best white form I have ever seen of this species. Great.

[Oron Peri]

Thanks all,

I have found it in the wild in Israel in a colony that consists of hundred of thousend plants,
 three of them where this form and also a pink form that will flower in a few days.
It was quite easy to notice them  among all the normal ones because of the phosphorus color of the stalk.
Practically, i spend around two months a year crawling on the floor looking for things like that

Very nice, Oron;

Wim,

Every species that flowers in Blue, Pink, violet, Lavender etc. has its albino form, its only a meter of finding it out there....

Time well spent, Oron, time well spent!

[Joakim B]

Oron seems to grow it well and might be able to reintroduce it where it was lifted from once it has multiplied.
Like that the best of all worlds
Having the cake and eating it.
Kind regards
Joakim

Here are the leaves of my Spanish autumn squill. The flowers are very similar to autumnalis.

I try to get more autimn flowering bulbs but Sc autumnalis always dies for me in the winter. I assume it is on the wrong side of hardiness.
S. scilloides, however has survived outside three years. I have no good picture however.

[Anthony Darby]

I take it no-one has come across an autumn squill with leaves more than 1cm wide?

[gote]

Not scilloides anyway.
