Spring Beauties

       These pretty blue flowers are always the first to bloom in my yard every Spring.   They are called Spring Beauty Scilla or Siberian Squill.

       Grown from hardy bulbs, these clusters of tiny slate blue flowers originated from Russia and Eurasia.

       Spring beauties are very resilient to snaps of cold weather and snow.   Fortunately, they recover nicely.

       They are a great choice for naturlaized gardens like mine, because they tend to show up in unexpected places, like in this picture of my woods.
