当当当当~这一期有我最爱的葡萄风信子！今天四月初去了趟欧洲，早春时节的欧洲大陆到处都摇曳着葡萄风信子和郁金香的倩影。葡风在我生活的城市所见不多，虽然是早春的花卉，但要想春天看花，这会儿必须忙着播种啦！前几天刚好从花友那分享了几颗葡风的球根，金秋时节，美不颠儿的种起来吧~

我打算种下球根以后把这些美图打印出来贴在花盆上，就像想生宝宝的女人们墙上都贴美娃图一样。。。

好了，唐僧完毕，走起！

 

早春的明媚——球根类花卉

当可爱的球根蓝色小植物破土而出时，人们便可知道，春天如约而至啦。本文为您收集了一些清新可人的球根类植物，其中包括雪光花属（Chionodoxa）、葡萄风信子属（Muscari）和绵枣儿属（Scilla）。它们无一例外的都非常易于栽培，其中有很多都有良好的蔓延性，适于做地被植物。这些球根类花卉栽植在落叶灌木下会尤为娇美可爱，紧密依偎在圣诞玫瑰旁也会别有风趣。除此以外，它们也非常适合栽植在花器中，放置在门廊或温度较低的温室。

 

雪光花属——呈现雪的光华

雪光花Chionodoxa luciliae

雪光花属中花形最大的一种，单花直径大约为3.5cm (1¹_/4 in)。尽管单支花茎上仅有2-3朵花，但由于花朵向上绽放，且花形较大，因此依然能打造视觉冲击。花朵呈扁平状，颜色为淡蓝色，并泛有一丝淡紫，花芯为白色。四月开花，最好栽植于半荫环境。10cm (4in)

娑恋雪花百合Chionodoxa sardensis

娑恋雪花百合比C. luciliae花期早，色彩为正蓝色，它的花茎更长，但不那么笔直，呈一定弧度。单花直径大约为2.5cm (1in)，形状酷似铃铛，开口向外而非向上。花朵呈紫罗兰色，带有不明显的白色小花芯。半荫栽培最佳。12.5cm (5in)

 

葡萄风信子属

亚美尼亚葡萄风信子"圣诞珍珠" Muscari armeniacum ‘Christmas Pearl’

这是很古老的葡萄风信子品种，二月份在户外开花，并一直持续到四月初。如栽植在低温的温室里，则可在圣诞节前后开花。单个花头可缀满60朵芬芳的小花，初绽时略呈蓝绿色，成熟后变为紫蓝色。但只有一个缺点——它的花叶在秋天长出，因此在花期时花叶会显得较为凌乱。20cm (8in)

亚美尼亚葡萄风信子“蓝宝石”Muscari armeniacum ‘Saffier’

“蓝宝石”是一类栽培变种花卉，它在"圣诞珍珠"花谢时开始绽放，并一直持续到五月初期或中期。“蓝宝石”的花朵很别致，呈紫蓝色，花尖为绿色，永远不会彻底绽放，也不会结籽，这也成就了她的超长花期。在半遮荫的户外环境下生长十分茂盛。20cm (8in)

葡萄风信子“蔚蓝”Muscari azureum

这个品种和多数葡风相比颜色较浅，花朵呈娇美的天蓝色，非常可爱。花茎上缀满小花，数量可达50朵，顶端的花蕾非常紧凑，而下方的花朵则优美的绽放。四月初开始初花。喜欢光照或半遮荫，但夏季不耐干旱。10cm (4in)

葡萄风信子“珍妮罗宾逊’ Muscari ‘Jenny Robinson’

这个栽培变种的颜色更浅，花期为四月，有香气，花头可缀满90朵瓮形白色不孕花和蓝色孕性花。起初名为‘婴儿的呼吸’，后来为了纪念1970年在塞浦路斯发现这个品种的珍妮罗宾逊重新命名。喜欢户外或半荫环境。20cm (8in)

渐变葡萄风信子Muscari latifolium

这个品种的葡萄风信子形态略有不同，叶片为宽大的灰绿色单叶，花头为深浅两色，十分可爱。花头顶端的花簇比较松散，由约12朵漂亮的浅蓝色不孕花组成。而下方孕性花的数量大概是不孕花的三倍，花朵为紫色，顶端渐变为烟黑色。喜欢日照或半遮荫，生长状态良好时可自播，但不喜欢夏季干热。15cm (6in)

 

 

绵枣儿属

 

http://s1/middle/6f21d675gc9f536f75330&690

高山海葱Scilla bifolia

二月到三月初开花，花蕾略带粉色，绽放时呈浓郁的紫蓝色，有时变为鲜艳的蓝色，花朵如同星星一样娇小可爱，通常，每枚花瓣的底部都会有白色的痕迹。单枝花茎通常有三到五朵花，有时会多达十朵。喜欢富含腐殖质的土壤，喜欢半荫环境，可持续扩散，不喜欢炎热干燥的夏季。

伊朗绵枣儿 Scilla mischtschenkoana

 

这是早花球根花卉中最好的品种之一，在春天的花园中绝对是不可或缺的。该品种从一月中旬开始初花，花期长达两个月之久，通常在植株破土而出后，初花便会迅速绽放，然后随着花茎的延伸，会有更多花朵相继争艳。花朵呈星星状，宽度大约2.5cm (1in)，为冰蓝色，每片花瓣上都有一条颜色较深的线条。最好半遮阴栽植。15cm (6in)

西伯利亚蓝钟花Scilla siberica

可能是所有绵枣儿属植物中最受欢迎的一种，中绿色的叶片、深紫色的花茎、深紫蓝色的铃铛形小花宽度可达4cm (^3/₄in)，西伯利亚蓝钟花可谓集合了各种优势于一身。单侧花头上优雅的悬挂着几朵可爱的小花，这个品种与白色或粉色圣诞玫瑰搭配起来会非常悦目，几乎适合所有环境，夏季干热除外。8.5cm (3^1/₂in)

 

以下为原文：

Bright bulbs for early year colour

The 'little blue bulbs' are such delightful spring arrivals. This collection of charmers include Chionodoxa, Muscari and Scilla and almost without exception they’re easy to grow and many spread well. They look especially lovely under deciduous shrubs, or nestling snuggly amongst hellebores, and all are good in pots in a porch or cold greenhouse.

Chionodoxa glory-of-the-snow

Chionodoxa luciliae
The largest flowered of Chionodoxa, each flower measures 3.5cm (1¹_/4 in) across, and although there are usually only two or three flowers on each stem they create quite an impact as the flowers face upwards, and are relatively large. Each rather flat, pale-blue flower has lavender overtones and shades to white in the centre. Flowers in April, best in partial shade. 10cm (4in)

Chionodoxa sardensis
Earlier in flower than C. luciliae, more genuinely blue in colour, and without a white eye C. sardensis also has longer stems but they tend to be less upright and more arching. Each 2.5cm (1in) flower is more or less bell-shaped and tends to face outwards rather than upwards. Rich violet-blue, the flowers have small, rather indistinct, bright white eyes. Best in partial shade. 12.5cm (5in)

Muscari armeniacum ‘Christmas Pearl’

A very early form of this familiar grape hyacinth, coming into flower in February outside, and lasting until early April. In a pot in a cold greenhouse it should flower at Christmas. Each flower head is crowded with up to 60 fragrant flowers which open a slightly greenish blue but mature to violet blue. Just one drawback- the leaves emerge in autumn and look tatty by flowering time. 20cm (8in)

Muscari grape hyacinth

Muscari armeniacum ‘Saffier’

The cultivar ‘Saffier’ starts to bloom as M.a. ‘Christmas Pearl’ is coming to an end and then continues in bloom until early or mid May. ‘Saffier’ is unusual in that the violet-blue flowers with their green tips never quite open completely and never set seed – which accounts for the unusually long season. Vigorous, and happy in the open and in partial shade. 20cm (8in)

Muscari azureum
Paler in colour than many grape hyacinths, the flowers of M. azureum are a lovely, soft sky-blue. With up to 50 flowers crowding the top of the stem, those in bud stay very tight and those that have opened below flare prettily. Starts to flower in early April. Happy in sun or partial shade but dislikes summer drought. 10cm (4in)

Muscari ‘Jenny Robinson’

An even paler cultivar, flowering through April, the fragrant flower head is packed with up to 90 urn-shaped white sterile and blue fertile flowers that are white at the tip. Originally called ‘Baby’s Breath’, it now commemorates Jenny Robinson who found the plant on Cyprus around 1970. Happy in the open or in partial shade. 20cm (8in)

Muscari latifolium

A 'grape hyacinth' in a slightly different style, with one broad greyish leaf and a delightful two-tone flower head. At the top is a rather open cluster of about a dozen pretty, pale blue, sterile flowers. Lower down, are about three times as many fertile flowers in purple turning to smoky-black at the tips. Self sows in sun or partial shade when happy, but dislikes hot dry summers.15cm (6in)

Scilla squill

Scilla bifolia

Flowering in February and early March, the slightly pink-tinted buds open to rich violet blue, or sometimes brighter blue, star-shaped flowers usually with a white mark at the base of each petal. There are three to five, or sometimes as many as 10, flowers on each stem. Best in humus-rich soil in partial shade where it spreads steadily, it dislikes harsh summer drought. 10cm (4in)

Scilla mischtschenkoana

This indispensible little bulb is one of the best of all early bulbs. Starting to flower around mid-January and lasting as long as two months, unusually the first flowers open as soon as it appears above ground and then more flowers open as the stem stretches. Each starry 2.5cm (1in) flower is ice-blue with a darker stripe through each petal. Best in partial shade. 15cm (6in)

Scilla siberica

Perhaps the most popular of all scillas, its mid-green foliage, dark purple stems and deep violet blue, bell-shaped flowers up to 4cm (^3/₄in) wide make a winning combination. With up to five flowers hanging elegantly from the one-sided flower head, it’s delightful with white or pink hellebores and is happy almost anywhere that is not hot and dry in summer. 8.5cm (3^1/₂in)
