Blue flowers (Brodiaea) named for me by Shirley.


Blue flowers (Brodiaea) named for me by Shirley.

I don't know what they are called but they come up every year from small bulbs. I nearly miss them most years as they grow under the bushy perennials. By the time I think to move them they have disappeared.....?

Hb, I have these too and bought them as Brodiaea 'Queen Fabiola' ... I have a feeling they are now named as Triteleia.

I would have had more but foolishly, in the Spring, thought the stems were Grape Hyacinth, which I detest and pulled some up before realising my mistake ... :o(

I do the same every year!!

Next year I shall be more patient and wait until the Grape Hyacinth flowers appear ... then uproot them!

I have manage to find a lilac coloured one amongst the blues, have labelled it to increase.

Keeping your pic until I have potted up the one corm, as a visual reminder.

Sorry Dd, the flower is now a crisp brown or I would take a pic. Just potted up the one corm. So thanks for the reminder, Homebird.
