Quote from: johnw on February 06, 2012, 05:14:23 PMIn 2010 I purchased about 1,000 seeds of Galanthus nivalis from Jelitto. At the time I was amazed they sprouted immediately. Thereafter I paid no attention to them whatsoever. I transplanted them whilst dormant with the soil intact and without examing the bulbs. I really paid no attention to them after the pepped above ground. That is until today when they all flowered blue. Some sort of squinny Scilla or Chionodoxa. :-XjohnwOh, that hurts

The matter has been reasonably explained - a forgiveable mistake -and resolved to my satisfaction.In the meantime my contact has confessed to being a Leucojumphile and has been selecting vernums - dwarves, doubles and so on. So now I have ordered seed of regular vernum as well.Turns out the Scilla was bifolia. I know nothing about it. Is it garden-worthy? Hard to tell here as they're juvenile.johnw
Apologies for introducing a touch of blue into this thread.Scilla bifolia for John W.
Loving the images...some real beauty's... Few of mine last couple of days...1) Merlin2) Nothing Special3) Sandersii
I have just bought a different clone as the one I bought 15 years ago is still only four flowers this year! Talk about slow to increase - stayed as one bulb for many years and I finally moved it two years ago and it is finally s-l-o-w-l-y growing - suppose the Narcissus fly will get it now
