Question
Hi.  I'm hoping that you can help solve my garden mystery.  In the Spring of '06 I dug and relocated several large clumps of bulbs.  The clumps were growing in an area that had been an overgrown meadow for years, but had been recently cleared and seeded with grass.  I assume that they are some kind of natives (NC Piedmont) because the area hadn't been used for over 100 years.  The bulbs are small, like Muscari, and the foliage is also similar to Muscari in height, width, and succulent-like texture.  The "leaves" are more upright than the Muscari that I have.  The ID problem is that the bulbs haven't bloomed yet.  I fed them last year when they first emerged (mid February) and did the same this year.  Hopefully they'll bloom this year- but the suspense is killing me!  Any ideas?

I can send a picture- I just need info on the proper size/format as I'm new to digital!!  Thank you.

Answer
Missie, There are many varieties and cultivars of Muscari. Here is a link see if you have one of these.    http://www.floridata.com/ref/M/muscari_spp.cfm
Here in in Texas ours blooms in April. I do think feed and water play a big part in how the leaves can be different. Thanks John
