I think you meant Mugo pine?

There are lots and lots of different scillas. In fact the genus is now divided into 3 or more genera. Lorn, you might be identifying correctly, but take into consideration that this was the first flowering and inside the house, too. . I've not heard of an all albino form of S. litardierei, but I don't doubt there is one, just quite rare. A near white variant could be more likely. However, I've never seen S. litardierei ever offered as bulbs anywhere except very recently. Just for your information, too, this one normally blooms in the spring, rather than the early fall.

I've also learned to always research species identities once plants mature, especially when grown from seed. They are not be what they claim to! So far, this one does seem to be true to name...
