What is blooming mid-October- Hyacinthoides (scilla) lingulata

Not all Hyacinthoides lingulata follow these described growth pattern of blooming a month after showing leaves,
some bloom before the foliage emerges.
i posted some photos of various different forms of Hyacinthoides lingulata on the SRGC forum over the past few months and there is a bit of discussion as well.

In mid-October most of my bulb garden is bare but a few recent
acquisitions are currently in bloom. The Hyacinthoides lingulata
opened its first blooms yesterday morning, a month after the leaves
emerged, just as predicted on the wiki page

My own photos of these blooms from the past week are here:

It is nice to have some bulbs in bloom during this digging and re-
planting time.
