Blooming

There a re a lot of  little clumps of dark green, long, thin muscari leaves scattered around in the lawn…but none of them have started to bloom yet.  Except for these three early bloomers hiding by the sidewalk.  They must have come out early because they are in a spot that is very protected and warm, getting a lot of sun and heat reflected back from the pavement.

Little Blue

The larger muscari that I planted from bulbs (see below) did not come back this year…but the “wild” muscari, which grows in clumps and has a smaller flower and thin grass like leaves, are spread out in various clumps around the yard. They seem to have naturalized themselves in odd places.

I really liked the larger ones, it is too bad they didn’t bloom…maybe they need a colder climate like the tulips.

I will just have to be content with the wild one, which are also nice.
