We have had the most beautiful weather here for the past two days -- sunny and 70. Suddenly, there are flowers popping up everywhere, including these beautiful blue Scilla Siberica. They are tiny, but oh so beautiful in flower beds that are still just waking up.
And they self seed, which I love. Right now they dot my beds with blue. You have to love a flower that is so enthusiastic. They are tiny, and look quite delicate although that is misleading. They have been through cold and drenching rain, and still they shine.
Another spring miracle in fact.

And I almost forgot -- here is the lucky winner of my giveaway. Random.org chose comment #8.
