Tony , if only, in my temperate rain forrest , my few plants of Scilla rosenii and Scilla winogradowii would flourish and multiply as does S. bithynica - I would be delighted .
Scilla hohenackeri must be just as vigorous as I saw meadows full in flower in march
1971 with hundreds and hundreds of Fritillaria raddeana also in bloom amongst them
 in the Golestan Forrest - Iran , a sight to make one swoon .
 Still waiting for my seeds of Scilla gorganica [ I think from the same area] to germinate
 and then see how they behave,

Ok, so after some consultations with Hans regarding the bulb, leaves etc. it seems we have here Scilla melaina
.
Very similar to Scilla cilicica but differs by the form of the bract, leaves and the bulb which is not the typical cilicica dark violet color but yellowish with dark tunics.

I have some scilla siberica seeds but I am not sure what I should do with them. I read that they have cold resistance but I don't know about their warm tolerances.(Our climate has cold winters warm and dry summers( up to 40 C) Should I sow them in a pod at home or wait for next year and sow them to garden?

Arda
I would suggest you to keep the seeds in a dry cool place until next mid September, then it would be the best time to sow them and so they would have all winter and spring to grow.
Scilla are  easy to grow from seeds, most species prefer cold winters, summer temperatures are less important since bulbs are dormant at that time.
