What is "leopoldia"

Leopoldia is a genus of bulbous perennials in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. The genus is widespread around the Mediterranean region and neighboring lands, from the Canary Islands to Iran.

Leopoldia was formerly included in the genus Muscari (as the Leopoldia group or subgenus), and like them are often called Grape Hyacinths. Their flowers are arranged in a spike or raceme with those at the top more brightly coloured than those lower down.
