Something Blue

Short of time and inspiration today.
What seems a chore in autumn is always well rewarded in spring.
So why do I always end up with packets of unplanted bulbs?
Not these ones though, found in a pretty basket in the 'sad corner' of a hardware store at the end of last spring.
Dumped out of the basket to make room for a houseplant, they add a
welcome splash of colour in the garden.

It's interesting the way it goes from bulbs which are just opening at the bottom, to ones which almost seem to have their lips pursed prior to opening just above that, all the way up to the ones that still seem to be asleep at the top.

I love these little flowers. I did have some growing here, but one year they just didn't appear again

Grape Hyacinths... one of my favorite Spring flowers. They don't grow well here in Texas, but we had them where I grew up in the north. Love your closeup!

So pretty and so encouraging. Maybe winter won't last forever after all.

I love Muscari, but they don't like Perth very much. A lovely shot Mairéad.

These are a childhood memory...they grew in a narrow bed beside the shed.
Love this dreamy focus, Maired
