I've also started "oil pulling"- swishing coconut oil in my mouth for 20 minutes in the mornings. I was skeptical, but I'm seeing results! I have a touch of gum disease, where the gums were receding away from a couple of teeth, and by golly its growing back!

Well, before we get this thread so far off track that it has to be moved to the Parking Lot, back to little blue bulbs. Muscari are starting to bloom here.
The regular M. armeniacum, Valerie Finnis, Christmas Pearl, and M. aucheri 'Ocean Magic' are all starting. Oddly, Christmas Pearl is blooming alongside the rest, although it is supposed to be an early blooming form of M. armeniacum.

This Muscari was here when I moved in, and didn't show itself for the first few years. I think the spruce tree had spread so wide that it was usurping all the sun. I'm curious what kind it is, because it has no autumn/winter foliage, which I rather like.
