I've been meaning to get back here to add pics of my faves

Early--
I love the scilla! To be honest, at that time of year, when I have been bereft of outdoor blooms and suffered thru months of doom and gloom, I love everything!
The scilla are my first real blues though, and blue is just so very awesome indeed

This year I discovered blue pollen on the bees and took a gazillion or so pictures and then I realized that the flowers have such cute little purple hoods that I fell in love with them all over again Hilarious!

Terri, I just saw you posted while I was uploading--The bees love 'em! They bloom for quite along time, proliferate by seed and bulb-lets, and can threaten to take over an area if they are well sited. They are also pretty common and easy to come by from most of the bulb places. I can't remember where I found the most affordable bundle... may have been Holland Bulb Farms, but I'm not sure...
