Chionodoxa

Last Saturday, when I surveyed my garden, only a few flowers were blooming. The crocus were still blooming, but they’ve since stopped, and the lovely blue iris, and the hellebore that I showed you earlier this week was blooming as well. The only other flower that had made an arrival was the Chionodoxa.

Chionodoxa are delicate spring flowers. I have bluish purple ones as shown above, white ones and pink ones. Of course the only once that had made an appearance were the purple ones. Most were not yet open.

Now, one week later, the garden is alive with green leaves and flower buds. I think all of the Chionodoxa are blooming, and so are some of the hyacinths and daffodils. I must admit that I haven’t gone out to take a close look so there could be a few other nice surprises.

I did have one tulip blooming in my front boulevard garden bed, but it met an untimely end. I’m telling that story over at Tricia’s Musings.
