Scilla forbesii – A bit late for this one really, as the flowering period is now over. But one of the early spring flowering bulbs. Double-click to enlarge image.

Another new one for me, and well-named, too. I see that there are some 50-80 varieties in the subfamily Scilloideae, including bluebells and squill, and they appear to be related to asparagus, too. How fascinating!

Yes, they are in there with the bluebells and the snowdrops, and make for an early spring bonanza of colour.

A treat to see at ANY time, your photo really shows how glorious they are. They’re exquisite, the blue-and-white together in this lovely light are vibrant!

Thank you, Liz! 🙂 I don’t know how they got to my side of the garden, because I haven’t seen them before, but I was so glad they did!
