The last time I posted a picture of this on my blog was on <a href=\"?p=588\" title=\"Thursday, March 22, 2012\" target=\"_20120322\">Thursday, March 22, 2012<\/a>, so I think we&#8217;re due for another.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is <em>Scilla siberica<\/em> Var. Spring Beauty and I think it is wonderful. Many of the flowers look down towards the ground but they are still blue from above and as they finish their display, they start to lift their heads a bit, making them easier to look at. Of course, even so you have to get right down on the ground to see them eye to eye, as they are in this picture, but that was never much of an obstacle for me. I definitely need more of these.<\/p>\n<p>Coming soon are the grape hyacinths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The scilla has been up for a few days now but it wasn&#8217;t until today that I had the opportunity to get a few photographs.
