Muscari ... and some relatives 2010

[Arda Takan]

Yes I do Pat,
"Sivrihisar" is the name of a district of the city I'm living in (which is Eskişehir)
and "dağlar" means mountains so this plant is named after the place where it is found=Sivrihisar Dağları

M. sivrihisardaglarensis , from Jānis, started flowering about a month ago but may be later once it settles down.   

[Arda Takan]

I thought M. sivrihisardaghleriensis had blue flower buds in stead of green ones. But of course, I am not an expert

Nor am I Arda, never having seen this species before.  Maybe the pale blue sterile flowers will develop later

We collected M. sivrihisardaglarensis at its locus clasicus on Sivrihisardag mountains, but now I'm slightly doubtful about this species, although I'm still offering it. I'm afraid that features used for its separating is too variable... At least I'm certain that plants offered by me must be identical with those used for description of species.

Seems to be a distinctive Muscari - I do like the contrast. Thanks for the explanations.
It would be a name that I would have to have in front of me to write it again says she who comes from a country that has towns called
Gol Gol, Jil Jil, Walla Walla, Ten Mile Hollow to name a few.

Janis if you can tell me the exact location I can go and check in spring and add photos of the muscaris in that location.

The location has been sent to Arda in a pm.

Good luck!

Thank you Janis!
Hopefully I will find them

Interesting.  I hope you can post some photographs in due course Arda, perhaps showing the range of variation within the population.

Arda and all,

The M. sivrihisardaghleriensis is a beauty.  That first pic you posted Arda is wonderful.  I'd grow it just for the name though, I must admit, even if I didn't actually like the flower (which I very much do).  

Marcus in Tasmania.... have you imported this one from Janis yet?  If you have, please keep me in mind when you have enough to sell.
