I was reading Judy Glattstein's "Bulbs for Garden Habitats" this morning looking for more little blue bulb information-- she suggested mixing the blue chiondoxa and the blue scilla together, or mix two scillas--the 'spring valley' and the siberica-- for a more interesting show with a little color nuance-ing going on with the early mid-spring daffs...

I was looking for that combo at the Civic Garden Center gardens, but got a little mixed up about the differences between ipheion, chionodoxa and scilla siberica along with the muscari various while looking through the camera lens. I think the hyacinth multi 'blue festival' would be a good addition to the mix, too, and I'm going to do that next year.

Yes, Tammy, that's probably phlox subulata-- I thought perhaps something else because my phlox subulata is not even close to blooming and this covered a hillside already. I do have rock cress blooming now, though.

Are these good old common sweet violets? (Can't see the thumbnail) I think they are so cute and some people get apoplexic about having them in their lawns...don't understand it...
