That was the first time I have used this species and they are just coming into flower.
Exquisite small white flowers with pale blue stripes.
Two thing I have noticed about the flowers.
In the shade they appear pale blue:
In direct Sunlight they turn to follow the Sun
Those are really beautiful. I miss all the spring flowers that are never seen in this climate.
ReplyDeleteMick: Hadn't thought about that. Come to think about it, most, if not all, Spring bulbs need a period of low temperatures before they will flower.
DeleteTheses are just the dog's whatsits. I thought all flowers turned into the light. Not that I know much about flowers, when planting green side up is about my limit. They would make an interesting timelapse.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: I'm very pleased with them. Not expensive either. I think noticed the Sun following more with these as they are in a planter near eye level and had tried several time to photograph them without casting a shadow from the camera.
DeleteLovely colours on them, they are new to me.
ReplyDeleteDave: Came across them by accident. Last Autumn I was searching eBay for Spring bulbs when I spotted those.
DeleteI've not heard of Russian Snowdrops - the flowers are delightful :) Will look out for them love the idea of them following the sun.
