Chionodoxia (Spelling?) Delightful little flower, How lucky you are that it flowers freely in the garden. Lovely in grassy areas too.

They are Chionodoxa. I've got just two little flowers in my garden and hope they increase by next Spring. They are so pretty.

they are definitely Chinodoxia common name is 'glory of the snow'

I love these . there are also a pink forms. but I do think the blue is the prettiest.

They're really nice, are they shade tolerant?

they don't mind being under trees as the leaves are not out yet. but not in deep shade from a wall/fence, in my experience.

Thanks Seaburn

Another name change. They are now Scilla luciliae

That's true Owd I'd forgotten that. Have you settled into your new home yet or are you still living out of boxes?

Either way they are still a lovely plant and still listed under their own name in many bulb catalogues. Some growers/producers are relatively slow to change; bit like me!

Thanks for the replies everyone. There are lots of them growing in two distinct areas so must have been planted by previous owner. Guess the forget-me-nots went to plant heaven.

Best place for Forget me nots too! Seed weeds of the first order.
