Muscari ... and some relatives 2010

[Michael J Campbell]

ID please.
I got this one from the AGS star seed under the name, Muscari subsp Botryanthus.

could it be  Neglectum ?

[Sinchets]

It does look like it, Michael. Was this listed as Muscari species STAR060? I have this collection growing too, but I am a few years behind you.

[Sinchets]

Flowering here now is a Muscari, which was originally bought as M.pallens 
Also flowering now after the longest buildup ever- the flower stalk has been sitting waiting for several months- is Bellevalia mauretanica SL255

[Sinchets]

'Tis the season for flowers of the Muscari ilk. Flowering here now are Hyacinthella dalmatica and one I have as Hyacinthella lazulina, but could be H.lineata. Also flowering is Muscari 'Early Rose'.

[Ragged Robin]

Now you're way ahead of me Simon - great looking Muscari - the dark one is so 

[Gail]

Lovely Simon, I particularly like the Hyacinthella dalmatica.

Simon

Great, healthy looking plants

Do you know where your  B. mauritanica is originated to?, first time i see a good photo of it,
Thanks for showing it.

[Sinchets]

Thanks Gail and Robin.
Thanks, Oron. The Bellevalia mauretanica is from seed from Mike Salmon and his collection details are collection numberSL255, Zaghouan, Tunisia. I read somewhere that it was only a form of B.romana, but for me it is a huge improvement on this species and I can forgive it its large leaves for making such an impressive flower spike 
Flowering here now- what I am growing as Muscari azureum and M.chalusicum. Also Muscari neglectum.

A muscari that I have lost the collection details but from Archibald seed. It has taken years to flower and now I think is heading for the compost heap.

[Sinchets]

The compost heap? I'd put it in the garden first just to see if it develops a better form 

[ashley]

It looks like muscarimi Tony, and as far as I can remember JJA list only one so provenance should be traceable.  
Does it have a scent?  Anyway, not the compost heap please

Lovely things there Simon

Hi Tony

I agree with Ashley, it is M. muscarimi.

Tony - Ditto muscarimi.  Mine was grown from Archibald #690.201  95 and I posted a shot recently.

No scent that I can discern.

Ashley it will be on its way to you when it dies down.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't want it Tony, but delighted to help it escape the dreaded CH
Thank you (again).
