Dear Friends,
.....it gets SO CONFUSING.

I grow and they are just blooming Hyacinthoides (fill in the
blank ) 'Dainty Maid' (pink), 'Excelsior' (blue) and a white cv. They
are all very well behaved in my garden and do not seed about.

According to the PBS intro and discussion

http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/old.php/…

Are these all hybrids between H. hispanica and H. nonscripta?
or belonging to a single species.

And where does H. campanulata fit into this?

Just how many species are currently recognized?

Thanks Jim W.
