I planted a few bulbs of
Scilla peruviana
which I got in Portugal in 2013, a couple of them flowered for the first time this year; the flowers were worth waiting for. The harsh winter certainly didn't seem to harm them in any way.

They look lovely. We have had flowers on the Scillas really early in the year. These are the ones given to us when we visited Sparoza at last year's AGM. I was surprised that they flowered so quickly. We have some more in the ground that have been in for a few years but have produced only foliage.

Jorun,
I think I would sit all day long looking at it!

Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

Thank you, Hillary, photos last longer than the flowers, but it is of course not quite the same thing as seeing them live.
