Striped Squill
Very pleasing shade of pastel blue, dainty flowers, nice spring color.
Unopened buds. Tiny seedlings are seen at bottom left: I encourage this.
Interesting striped buds at emergence.
Seedpods (unripe) to the left, seedlings from last year's pods to the right. Definately naturalizes.

Puschkinia - scilloides var. libanotica
One of my favorite spring bulbs.
After 10 years in this shady place, heavy clay, low-nitrogen, they have spread rather modestly.
