Identification of Hyacinthoides
« on: March 26, 2015, 06:29:38 PM »
Could anyone please help me identify these flowers? They look like Hyacinthoides sp., but I don't know which one. The photo was taken by another MGS member from the Philodassiki Botanic Garden.

Thank you, I thought Hyacintus orientalis was much smaller and with more dense flower spikes than the plants in the photo below?
