    Hi all can you please help me with these plants please.

    I found these 2 bulb plants growing in a clump of daffs and the white in with a clump of Pashinka (I think that's how you spell it.)

    These other 2 plants were grown in a perennial mix I started from seed earlier in the year.

    The first things to pop into my head were pushkinia, ageratum and possibly a datura type for the last one.

    Could the first one be a Grape Hyacinth? I had a load of them appear in my garden, and they looked similar before I got fed up with them and whipped them out.

    WARNING - the above is a complete guess, and is not backed up with any knowledge at all; in fact, I should probably just shut up and keep my nose out of these threads! :biggrin:

        Thank you both and many thanks to you Silver Surfer, I now finally know what they are. I did have an idea it was some kind of muscari but just wanted to make sure, as my other muscari's have been and gone and this one popped up in a clump of daffs the other day.

        Thanks again :)
