Eliza Waters 
So pretty Eliza ☺️
Thank you, Maria!
I have some in my yard, but the lupins are taking over.
Like a blue bursting star!
Yes, they are – such a gorgeous blue, too! 🙂
Yes, I can see that.
Very pretty indeed 🙂
Thank you, Vicki!
Calming 💐
Glad to know that… thanks, Karen. ❤
Reblogged this on Blue Dragon Journal.
Thank you! x
Beautiful but what are they Eliza?
Chionodoxa luciliae, Glory-of-the-Snow. (FYI, If I have an ID, I put it in the tagline.)
I couldn’t see the tags
So pretty
Thank you, they are such a nice blue color.
Sooo pretty
Thank you, Karina! 🙂
Stunning blue beautiful!
Thank you, Pete!
Oh, how beautiful, Eliza. ❤
Thank you, Robin. I can’t get enough of these!
Lovely.
Thank you, Judy. Hope you are doing well.
Best of all, they don’t need snow to feel & look glorious!
🙂 Thanks, Alice!
Beautiful images Eliza!
Thank you, Reed!
LOVE!
Thank you, Catherine! Glad you do. 🙂
Not much to add! Lots of good comments…
Thank you, Lisa!
I do like the first spring flowers. Lovely photo, Eliza!
Thanks much, Belinda!
So beautiful!
Thank you, Carol!
You’re welcome
Hope you are doing well during these challenging times. Hang in there!
We live in Northern Alberta and so far the number of confirmed cases have been relatively few, but not everyone is being tested so I take that with a grain of salt.
As the weather warms I see more and more people out and about and it’s nice to see. Yet, it’s also a bit worrisome as not everyone is practicing social distancing. These are indeed challenging times all around the globe. I hope you are doing well too, Eliza. Stay safe!
I have never seen those flowers before, Eliza! They are gorgeous! xo
Thank you, Amy! They are a lovely spring bulb that self sows a lot and every year I have more – a happy thing!
Beautiful flowers! Love your photography!
Thank you very much!
I thought beautiful blue stars also as well as a sky filled with bursting star fireworks! 😊
Nice vision, Donna. 🙂 Many thanks!
So pretty! What are they?
Thanks, Laurie. They are Chionodoxa, or Glory-of-the-Snow. They have self sowed all around my yard and are putting on a lovely show these days.
I love these. I bought some to plant in the garden, but worry that I’ll be digging them up all the time. I’ve see them growing at the bases of ornamental trees. Where do you grow yours?
Years ago, I started with a section of lawn where I put early spring bulbs and allowed to grow until the foliage faded before cutting. Over the years (ants?) have spread the seeds all over, I now have clumps showing up under shrubs, in garden beds, even the front lawn far from the originals. It’s a wonder how they’ve got so far. Faeries perhaps?? 😉 But they delight me no end.
Subtle, but what a beauty!
Thank you, Phao!
Beautiful! And yet further evidence of the differences between our climates. I hope you’ve enjoyed a pleasant weekend and that maybe that snow in your forecast passed you by.
Thanks, Kris! It was hailing rain this afternoon, snow and rain expected overnight. My emerging perennials probably won’t like that. Fingers crossed that they come through okay. Such is weather in New England!
Love the color and photo!🙂 I keep hoping to see more color while on my walks, but hopefully I’ll begin to see tulips soon. Already signs the rabbits and deer are enjoying my lilies as they emerge.🙂
Thank you, Susan! I noticed the other day that deer have been munching on my emerging day lilies and phlox– one plant scraped down to the soil. Sigh. 😦
These are gorgeous. Terrific photo, Eliza. 😄
Thank you, Jane, your kind words are much appreciated!
Bright beautiful stars, just delightful, Eliza!
Thank you, Julie!
Lovely. We have these as our early plants too although neither of us has any idea how they got here. 🙂
Thanks, Steve. Their traveling around certainly is a mystery! I suspect like bloodroot, the seeds are dispersed by ants.
Such a lovely peaceful blue!
Thank you! One of the few truly ‘blue’ flowers. Like pieces of sky fallen to earth. 🙂
They are very pretty. I just checked to see where they originated and looks like it’s the eastern Mediterranean. I’ll look for them there if I ever head that way, assuming travel ever starts again!
Thank you, Adele. I just read that many commercial flights are flying empty or with very few passengers. SO crazy.
How lovely!
Thank you, Fi!
How wonderful to have ants and faeries spreading these for you!
🙂 Yes, indeed!
Nice depth-of-field and colors!
Gracias, Maria!
They are so delicate in shape and colour, and how nice that they spread only aided by other tiny beings – ants and faeries!
Yes, I esp. love that element of surprise. 🙂
Perfect light!
Thank you!
Love these !
Thanks, they are a spring favorite. One of the first flowers of the garden year, so most welcome at the end of winter.
