You can’t miss the sea of blue when you drive down 4th Street in our town. There is an amazing display of the blue, spring wildflower, called Scilla or Siberian Squill, covering a most of the yard. It is stunning. The house is pretty charming too, and adds to the overall beauty.
I dug up some scilla from a friend’s yard and transplanted the bulbs into our yard over the weekend. It spreads but it will be years before it looks like the carpet of blue we see this year on 4th Street.
This spring flower blooms in yards all over town…then it dies out and the grass starts to grow and the bulbs lie dormant until the next spring. It is such a gift in early spring, after a Minnesota winter.
Look so nice….I have them in my garden also, but not that many. Maybe in some years it will look like that🤣
Wishing you a Happy Easter🐣🐥💐
It is fun to know you have the same spring flower blooming in Norway!
So, Valerie, you are not going to believe this. I photographed these same flowers carpeting a yard in Faribault just yesterday. I did not know their identity. But thanks to you, I now do. My post will be forthcoming soon.
It will be great to read your post on this beautiful spring beauty Audrey. Looking forward to it.
Beautiful😊 Happy Easter to you🐣
Thanks Bente. And to you.
One of my favorites! We have a few of these vistas in Elkhart… I too have made a modest start. Wonder how long those have been growing?
I know they have been growing in this yard a long time…it’s always a pretty site but this year it seems fuller…maybe it’s a good year for scilla.
