hello; Spring is my favorite season. It looks like to me your hard work in the yard has

paid off. Very nice. Is the first photo shown here of Lily's? I love these, please tell me

the name so I can get some too. Thanks and happy gardening.

I have to confess that I bought this little bulb years ago and have since forgotten what it is.  I tried to google it, but cannot find it anywhere.  The bloom is about an inch wide, and the leaves are a bit larger than the leaves of a scilla. 

These have spread quite a bit, I think I only planted six bulbs originally.   When they finish blooming they have a striped seed pod about 1/2 inch long where each flower was, which also adds interest after the flowers fade.  I wish I could find more, but have not come across any. 

Does anyone out there recognize this bulb?
