Scilla paucei ?

 Hi all,
This plant certainly is different from L. socialis. The leaves are different, the flowers are different. There is none of the purple coloration that Glen speaks of. The flowers and spike also are an uniform greenish white coloration. In the PBS website, this plant more closely resembles pauciflora, rather than socialis.
Glen - do you think they are pauciflora?

Hello All, My only argument with lumping it in with L. socialis is that it

does not have the same purple coloration so perhaps it would be better as a

form or ssp of socialis... Just my two cents. Cheers, Glen
