Pl. check Muscari armeniacum


Definitely Muscari sp.
Hard to take id further.

Very common in UK.
Common name grape hyacinth.

Google says : Grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum). So it could be Muscari armeniacum H.J.Veitch !


Google says lots of things.

Google can lie!
I check, check and double check.
We grow Muscari armemiacum here with many named cultivars… but Muscari botryoides also etc..
my knowledge doesn’t know how to id one from the other.
Google search
In UK we have a famous charity called “the Woodland Trust.”
I was searching for accurate images of Frangula alnus to double check my id.
On Woodland trust site 3rd pic it showed the flowers.
Sadly not of Frangula but Cornus!

On the screen of Frangula alnus flowers I can see Cornus, honeysuckle and bird cherry!

Yes … I agree with you. There seems to be many mistakes in google.
Need to be very careful.
