Lovely photos, and lovely plants, Palustris, and thanks once again for sharing with us here, and in particular, thanks for tagging the plants with their names.

Spring is well and truly in the air  Keep up the good work!

Ditto for George's comments. 

It's good to see your plants have started to emerge.  Your tulips are ahead of ours at the moment.  Ours are a little bit more cautious, they're just starting to show through.  It must be the cooler northern climate.

Since Scilla is the subject of another current topic, Ive had a suf on the variety posted bu Palustis. Heres a link with good info:
http://www.theplantexpert.com/springbulbs/Scilla3.html

It gives the alternate name:
Scilla mischtschenkoana
Well, I cheated (so I didnt have to spell) - I used copy and paste!

That one most certainly is not the variety in my garden. Its not in flower yet. I see flower stems, so looks like they will be in bloom in a week or 2.

Heres another useful link:

Thanks again Palustris. These look like good plants to acquire, since they flower so early.

Dear Palustris: how do you import such big pictures in your messages? Are these hyperlinks?

[ideasguy]

Right click on any image,and click properties.
There, you see the web address of the image - and from that you can determine where it is hosted.
Very clever by Palustris to get the image to show on the forum using that technique, I have to say.
