Spring came this year regardless of the Shelter in Place orders.   The daffodils have been beautiful and my annual applications of bone meal mean more blooms, which makes me really happy. 

The last of the daffs began blooming just as the grape hyacinths [muscari] came on and that blue and yellow combination just makes my heart sing.

What is blooming in your part of the world these days?

Grape Hyacinths

More of that blue I like so much.  They are grape hyacinths - muscari.  

They spread like crazy and we have them all over the gardens now.   We've disturbed a bunch of them while digging for the foundation, but it seems that they like it.   We had more than ever this year.

Of course the bees like them, too and it could be that they pollinated better last year and we had more seeds, so we have more flowers. 

However it happened, I'm happy about it.
