A Bellevalia sp from Urgup in Cappadoica,Turkey. I collected this in 1994 and it still remains as one bulb.

 Muscari macrocarpum

Just a reminder folks that the preferred Forum size for pix is 760 pixels wide and that it is helpful to have the plant name in the text of the post so the search engine can find it.

Tony,
that age >17 years for one bulb of Bellevalia sp is amazing!
Very strange it has not produced any daughter bulbs
Do you get seeds if you self pollinate?

I have never tried for seeds until this year when I have been pollinating it  and so I will know in a few weeks if any have set

A friend gave me seeds of a 'white' muscari a few years ago.  This year they bloomed for the first time and I was delighted to get a bonus of at least two blue muscari.

Bellevalia forniculata flowering for the first time, from JJA seed sown 2008.

[Tony Willis]

Muscari mirum from a 1996 collection flowering for the first time. This grows on serpentine with Crocus baytopiorum at Altinyala Turkey and was probably best left there.

Tony it might flower better next year i have seen forms with a more packed spike can you save me seed if you get any please?

A couple of pictures of Muscari pallens, that are blooming here now. Regrettable they are planted in a less than ideal place, and where it is difficult to get good pictures of the whole plant. I will move them to a more appropriate place this year. They were grown from seed from Gardens North in 2004/2005. Their colour is mainly a pale bluish white, with a few that are pale cream.

I agree with lisetra, it is B. gracilis.

Sorry Janis, i have noticed your message only now,
The Bellevalia is probably B. densiflora Boiss..
