Lily love, charming mixture, but what is the yellow airy looking plant at the back? I love it what ever it is.

Bev, love the little dancing scilla around your gazing ball. I adore the scilla siberica too. I started growing a new one for me last year and it was terrific. Very different and much later and bigger. Scilla pratensis Syn: S. litardierei or Meadow Squill. Here is a picture from last year. I hope it comes back. Lower rt is scilla siberica on April 19th and the other 3 or Scilla pratensis on June 9th. The narcissus is 'Pipit'

I also planted for last spring Genus: Scilla mischtschenkoana which didn't make much of an impact yet. But I read about it in Plantfiles from Todd Boland who know so much.

Scilla miczenkoana (S. tubergeniana) is not the most common squill, but is very desirable and long-lived. The flowers look like a larger version of Lebanon Squill (Puschkinia scilloides). The plants also have a pleasant fragrance if you get down on your knees!

I planted for this spring a group of scilla Campanulata 'White City' which I hope is as late as June and is 12" and white.

Bev, I think that last picture is a Chionodoxa forbesii, Glory of the snow. May be 'Blue giant' Patti
