I believe you're right. I have compared with the picture in Phillips & Rix Bulbs. I must have mixed up something, because I bought B pycnantha (by the incorrect name B paradoxa) at the same time. I ought to have thought of that possibility!

Kenneth, I would not assume that the mistake was yours. If you are watching the Crocus pages, you will see that lots of bulbs are misnamed when they are sold.

Dom,

is this the "normal" time of germination in your area?
Germination time starts here at the end of February.

I agree, and just for this reason I'm growing it and will offer together with many new and unusual Muscari in my new catalogue.

I was also told that it was difficult to flower - it has taken more than 3 years to flower in my garden.  On the other hand Dan Robbins has it flowering freely in his rock garden.  I think it rather depends where you live and how much sun you get.  Not one for the frozen north I suspect.

The first time it flowered for me was here in Bulgaria. It is outside in a dry sunny spot, limey soil with Colchicum cupanii and Sternbergia lutea. The pics are back in this thread somewhere.
