Hyacinthoides lingulata

Hi,
As Lauw suggests the plant Jim McKenney calls Scilla linguata
ciliolata seems to be accepted now under the name Hyacinthoides
linguata so that is how we have it listed on the wiki. When Lauw
talked about the bulb helping to define this I took a picture of it,
but never had time to add it, but just did so now. I also purchased
this species from Jane and absolutely love it. It multiplies rapidly
and I like it so much that I kept two pots of it this year which I
try not to do since I'm trying to grow less not more. I need to try
it in the ground. It is so fun to have a bluish flowering autumn
species and it is so dainty too.

When I was adding this picture to the wiki, I remembered again that
we don't have any photos of the Hycinthoides weedy species,
Hyacinthoides hispanica that so many people grow. I don't have time
to add any pictures for anyone else, but perhaps one of those people
who understand how the wiki works and have a photo might like to supply one?
