Rick, is there a lighter version (almost white with just a hint of blue) of this as well? I think I have both as well as a real dark Siberian Scilla (squill). You get lots of seeds from which they colonize very well. I got my start from seed. Some how some seeds must have been carried to a well hidden, protected road embankment quite nearby. When we found it, it was about a foot in diameter; we watched it grow to an irregular diameter of about four feet. Then, late last spring when they were flowering,, someone who evidently knew what they were after, went and dug every last one of them, which was the only time they could do it--they are so well hidden otherwise. Sad! Anyway, I've got mine growing along the south side of railroad cross ties in light sandy loam right along with crocos. They flower much later, of course. And occasionally one or two will show up here and there in my other gardens. I'll send you some pics of mine when they bloom.
