Thanks for this comment Luit,
What a confusion... ;D

It does look more of M. armeniacum by the dense and and more horizontal, strait flowers.

It is already difficult to distinguish between some of the species, think of cultivars.... ;)

Well Lesley- i hope you like your Muscari 'Whatever they turn out to be', I quite like my Muscari 'Whatever they are'. Think I'll stick with 'Baby's breath', as it has no PBR's on it  ;) ;)

This should be Muscari species nova 'Sky Blue' (from Janis) flowering now in the garden.

Simon,

Nice 'Sky Blue'.  Do you have 'Dark Eyes' as well?  I bought both of them this year so it is lovely to see them.  Not even leaves up on those ones here as yet I think, although a lot of the Muscari have had leaves up for a while.

Yes Paul, I have 'Dark Eyes', 'White-rose Beauty' and 'Early Rose' all out there somewhere - all lovely, 'quiet' little plants.  :)

I have one I bought as 'Rose Beauty', which I think was white fading to pink..... I wonder if it was supposed to be "White-rose beauty"?  What is 'Dark Eyes' like?  Descriptions in catalogues are not quite the same as seeing it yourself, which is why I am asking.

Paul, by 'Rose Beauty' do you mean 'Early Rose' from Janis? If so it is slightly pinker than 'Whit-rose Beauty'- sorry I have no pics.

Marcus Harvey listed 'Sky Blue' and 'Dark Eyes' as selections of the same species nova, this year but you Simon, have 'Dark Eyes' as a selection of M. aucheri. In your picture, it looks just like the regular old (and rampant) grape hyacinth.

Sorry Lesley, the 'Dark Eyes' pic was posted by Luit. Mine is from Janis, where it was listed as a selection of his Muscari species nova. I haven't posted a pic of it.

Simon,

I bought it as 'Rose Beauty', so I don't know more than that.  Maybe it is 'Whit-rose Beauty'?  I really don't know, which was sort of why I was asking.  Is there any one named 'Rose Beauty'?
