Scilla siberica is a kind of weed in my place. The Scilla in pic #1 appeared in a place where I definitely never planted any bulb. However, I have had S rosenii nearby since at least five years. Is this the hybrid xsibrose???
Picture #2 shows the real rosenii I believe.
What do you say Janis??

It looks as sibrose although I think my is darker. As hybrid it is very vigorous, makes huge bulbs, by color darker than rosenii and less reflexed. As it isn't clone, flowers are variable, but it is more abundantly blooming than both parents.
In addition few pictures of my favourite scillas - winogradowii and rosenii alba.

I have also some scilla photos taken in wild from NW. TR.
The sky blue is always my favorite color in the flower.

Some lovely Scilla bifolia, Ibrahim- they seem more floriferous than some of the forms we have here!

I have been waiting a while for the flower spikes of this one to finally show- Scilla vincentina (but now Hyacinthoides I think).

Here is the one that Oron said hybrid from Uludağ. The photos which I take they seems like this but in the other locations they are pure Scilla bifolia.
I would be glad to see a Chionodoxa in the location but I couldn't see any!

Scilla amoena is in 'species plantarum' I believe. It seems to have been common in gardens 200 years ago and fairly elusive nowadays.
I managed to find a bulb some years ago. It looks OK compared to the original herbarium sp but i wonder if anyone can confirm the name.
