Ho dear. I have it under this name as it came from Harry Hay and that's what he had it as though of course it could be wrong!

I had a walk the other day and I came across those little ones. I tried to identify them and I was wondering if they could be Hyacinthus litwinowii or Hyacinthus transcaspicus.

I can only echo Alberto,
Although looking different both are Bellevalia hyacinthoides.

White Scilla cilicica
« Reply #20 on: February 21, 2012, 10:59:42 AM »
For many years I have grown Scilla cilicica from seed from northern Cyprus. Typically they were dark blue but I had a paler one amongst them. After years of seeding it has produced this white form.

Very nice John, well done. It's the blue anthers that really set it off.

Scilla morrisii
« Reply #22 on: March 04, 2012, 11:38:20 AM »
Scilla morrisii from Jim & Jenny Archibald seed collected in the Paphos district of Cyprus has flowered for many year now. It has always been white, at least to the eye. This year despite there being several separate clones in the pot they are all a soft lavender.

Lovely subtle colour. A temperature effect, do you think?

In a frost free greenhouse so probably no difference there this year.
