Small Bulbs

A second flush of bulbs brings these little beauties.

This is 'Sailboat' under the Cherry tree.
I have also planted Ipheion with these in hopes of a carpet of blue for these to sail on but so far they haven't all agreed to co-operate.

These multi flowering  Festival Hyacinths have a much more natural look than the regular Orientalis. Same fabulous fragrance 
They have formed a nice clump in the spring border.

 I love the vivid blue of the grape hyacinth (Muscari) I just wish the rabbits would leave the foliage alone.

Ipheion uniflorum (below) called star flower is a much paler blue although there are varieties like 'Rolf Fiedler' that are deep blue but I have never made them do as well as the species.
These South American bulbs seed around and with their grass like foliage some let them be part of their lawn.What a lovely idea.
