Scilla taurica

Just stumbled on this old picture of a rather little known scilla. Considering what work horses
Scilla bifolia
and
Scilla sibirica
are in our gardens (not to mention the Endymions), a few more scilla would never hurt. Now to figure out where I photographed this and if I still have it!
Hyacinthella
is blooming all over my garden right now (or is it
Muscari azureum, Hyacinthus
azurea or what?). That rates high among my favorite bulbs--and do you think I have a picture?

Don't you have a camera? Take a picture now! I grow some Scillas too, but I have no
S taurica
. One of my best Scillas is
S. lilio-hyacinthus
.

I believe the revision and breakup of Scilla is underway, see:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/pbs/2003-December/016258.html
Many of the 50-60 scilla species are slated to be divided up into a messload (technical term) of new genera (some becoming monotypic genera with just 1 species, or narrowly defined genera with just a few species), or ascribed to other existing genera.

I have anticipated this!

Trond, I saw those Scilla in Spain 2 years ago...they are beauties for sure! I have never seen them for sale in Canada but would love to get my hands on them. I think is it one of the best Scilla.
My current fav in my garden is Scilla rosenii..got this from Janis Ruksans two years ago.

Todd, The hyacinthus are nice but so are the rosenii!
I have a Scilla I thought were rosenii but the color is different, more white. And they flower almost on the ground but stretch.
S hyacinthus pop up in my woodland, they seem to do well in a little shadow.
