Re: Muscari comosum

>1) Is Muscari comosum still living in the wild in the USA?  If so, where?

I grew up in western Oregon (Portland, Corvallis, and near Newport) in the
1940s and 1950s. Since then, I have lived in the San Francisco and Santa
Barbara areas of California. I can recall seeing Muscari armeniacum in
gardens in all of those places; I know those plants well because my
grandmother had a big patch of them. But I don't recall ever seeing M.
comosum (either wild or cultivated) until I started buying
commercially-packaged bulbs a few years ago. (I still have not actually
seen them growing anywhere besides in my own garden.)

I know this is not a very scientific observation, but no one else seems to
have responded to your post so perhaps this will help you a bit.
