  • Category: A plants in the order that they bloom with length of bloom- no new pics in this just a list from here on out- the double editing was driving me crazy and I'm losing track of what is where- not to ment
  • Status: 2006 Plantings

Initial Notes:

A free-flowering species from Turkey circa 1886, the top of the spike is clear blue and the lower half is deep violet-blue. Spectacular all by itself, it is also a terrific underplanting for narcissi. Here, Muscari latifolium sets the stage for an amazing landscape with Trumpet Daffodil Bravoure at the Keukenhof. Bulb size: 6 cm/up. April/May. 6". HZ: 4-8.

closer, and brightened, but unfortunately I don't have photoshop on the new machine- color is a bit deeper than real, but not too much

and closer- same shot- this is exactly what they look like- scraggly, but a wonderous purple

they've finished up and I think are producing seed, which wouldn't at all disappoint me- probably wouldn't buy more, but if they volunteered, I'd keep 'em
