Odd bulbs and senior moments

In one place, I have some bulbs very like a lightweight grape
hyacinth, but blue and white (typically top and bottom). Now,
did I buy them and, if so, what are they?
Do you mean that the colour is the reverse to what is normally found in
Muscari latifolium?
No, but I have both ways round. And it is definitely white and
mid-blue (not light and dark blue), and the leaves are even narrower
than the normal grape hyacinth.
Probably a Muscari, but NOT latifolium.
If it is Muscari, Azureum or, more likely, Botryoides (not sure about
the spelling of the latter)?
The pictures I can find don't match. I will have to take some
and see if I can get the details.
Like this?
