A pot of bulbs grown from JJA 227.900 is flowering for the first time in my bulb house. Apparently I didn't have a name when I made its permanent label some years ago, because it has just the number. I looked up this collection on the invaluable list posted on the Scottish Rock Garden Society website, and found it identified as Bellevalia longipes. It definitely isn't that, so somewhere along the line to the seeds arriving here there was a confusion. The plants in flower are extremely short, with congested spikes of dark blue, expanded flowers; I think it's something in the former genus Scilla. Does anyone else have plants with that collector's number, and if so, were they B. longipes or something else; and if something else, have you identified it? I'm going into the Flora of Turkey now to see if I can key it out -- only hoping it comes from there.
