Mum:

Lots of work on at the moment, plus the hot tub, of course.  So I didn't get time to take yesterday's Blog dictation from the Hounds.  

Actually, they had forgotten, so I popped their comments in for yesterday, and today is ALL MINE, and I can show you a few photos that I couldn't fit in yesterday from Foxy Park.  

Hope you like them.

Miniature blue bells (I think)

The blue flowers in the first photo look like chianodoxa, but here it's a "minor bulb" that blooms ahead of all but the early species tulips.  They have self-seeded all over our yard, along with Siberian squill, muscari (grape hyacinth) and snow drops.  I love those little guys!

Yes!

I looked them up:

Their UTTERLY FABULOUS common name is 'glory of the snow'

Thank you, @Luna  - another mystery solved :banana:
