Hyacinthoides non-scripta

[mark smyth]

Where these in the nature without H. hispanica nearby ??

No hispanica nearby.

I was saddened to see most gardens in Galway city had masses of H. hispanica

[mark smyth]

These are my H. non scripta Giant. I think they came from the Mid Anglia bulb sale. Their height is 50cm / 20 inches

I'm not sure if the little ones are seedlings or small bulbs

Can you collect a bulb for the collection
best with a finding place name for the records ?
Of-course to swap with other bulbs
next week I am harvesting the Gal . reg olgae ssp. reg olgae and vernalis from Collection Sicily

Can you collect a bulb for the collection

They are now in my garden with the land owners permission

[mark smyth]

What I need to do now is chip/scoop some

[bulborum]

Not sure if you can chip Hyacinthoides non-scripta
but they are easy multipliers
they make a lot of small bulbs
just PM me if you want to swap a bulb for my collection
I have also the same colour as your Hyacinthoides non-scripta from a Belgium castle garden
but not sure if it is a true Hyacinthoides non-scripta
there are no records where the original bulbs came from

here's a situation

You are out and about and you spot a bicoloured H n.s. Its grey white with blue petal tips. Do you
1. lift it because you happen to have a trowel in the car
2. ask nicely if you can take it home

I lead a bat walk last night and spotted this lovely bluebell

I went for 2 and was told "no you cant because it might be something special". I should have sneaked away and lifted it. Who would have known

Mark,
You would've and you're too honest - part of your charm, really.
cheers

I would lift it and mark the place
after a year you place a baby back
easy to do with a piece iron a camera and a small metal detector

Sorry,

Did I contact you about a swap?

[emma T]

I would take a bulb and when I have more put one back . I have done this with the land owners permission in the past .

The understatement of the century.  I love them in the woods, but in the garden a thug

[bulborum]

No mark you didn't yet
I collected a nice one Saturday with the permission of the owner
In two years I bring a baby back
If it is dry I post a picture tomorrow
