Hyacinthus orientalis var. albulus (Roman Hyacinth, French Hyacinth) to share. I will need to thin this bulb from some much over grown areas. I love them but they are a bit late for naturalizing in our lawn areas. I know that Whistler considers them a weed so in some areas they do multiple from seed and bulb with abandon. I have lived on this city lot for almost 30 years and only now feel like I have enough to share. They are currently blooming so it will be July for shipping.

featherphobia I believe that they need a certain amount of cold temperatures to survive and bloom. You could research it more on the web. You need to be able to grow tulips and daffodils easily. Palustris I am wondering if I have miss labeled this plant. You are probably right. I will be researching this one today to make sure I have the right Latin name. Common names can be a little helpful and a lot confusing. You should have seen me trying to search out what we had always called "snow on the moutain" last week :-? . Never did find what I wanted until I looked under another common name "candytuft".
Last call for any one desiring these bulbs. The wild hyacinth are being pulled. (Hyacinthoides hispanica, syn. Endymion hispanicus or Scilla hispanica) Thanks Palustris for correctly IDing these flowers for me. PM if you are interested.
