If you know where these Muscari are that you covet - wait for a fine day. Go to the street where you've seen them. Look for a householder out in the garden and ---- ask.

You'll probably be lucky 'cos gardeners (mostly) love sharing their surplus plants. Just wait until they fetch a digging implement and some sort of container. Offer some of your own surplus treasures and voila! Muscari, a friend, and probably leads to other goodies as well. Good luck!

PS if the front yards are tended 'by magic' (no one is EVER seen cutting the grass or pulling weeds) - you could go to the door and knock politely.

The old southern "starch hyacinth" is likely what you are seeing. The Latin name is Muscari neglectum. Old House Gardens and Brent and Beckys Bulbs, for two, carry them. OTOH, the ones growing in your neighbors' yards would most likely be far superior since they have naturalized in your climate, if you have the nerve to beg a start. If you do, when you have an excess, I'd love to trade! :)

bkay2000 - told ya so! Gardeners like donnabaskets - they're the ones to ask!

If you were here I'd give you all you could dig.
