Forgot to mention on the scilla--for me, bloom timing is good with the kaufmanniana tulips and *early* daffs, like tete-a-tete and some mystery trumpet I have. I tried them with kokopelli ...and that turned out pretty stupid

other 'earlies'
reticulated iris--they never last long enough for me! Cantab smells great. I try to go sniff it every night when I get home and then it's gone


chionodoxa --kinda like scilla but not quite

Just last fall I tried a chionodoxa relative, some of the so called striped squill--Puschkinia. They are dang cute and I look forward to them multiplying in the new area. Not really blue, but a great blue stripe

The hyacinths really scent up the garden in early spring, too, and I enjoy that immensely--not exactly little, but I got a bunch of these blue ones--to go with some blue throat-ed pink tulips (yonina and little beauty). And of course the hyacinth are pretty much done by the time those tulips open, so that worked out pretty stupid too Hilarious!

I tried a blue-eyed tulip. It looks purple to me. I planted them in an area where I had poisoned an evil plant...which turned out to be really stupid. This is the only one that bloomed and all their leaves turned yellow and shrived up before the rest of them could do anything. Thumbs down
