Yes, they are tiny but if we observe closely then we can see their grandeur.

These differences are not considered by some botanists as sufficient to create a separate genus, and Chionodoxa species are often included in Scilla."<br /><br />I have both blue and pale pink Chionodoxa. Just this afternoon, I was admiring the pink flowers, which are a relatively new addition to my garden. You can be sure that they will be the subject of some of my next photographs.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-65486875344667148232012-04-10T16:24:34.311-07:002012-04-10T16:24:34.311-07:00I love these little bulbs as well, in fact I just ...I love these little bulbs as well, in fact I just spent some time on my knees on the lawn counting the tiny bulbs emerging in the grass.

Gardeners of a certain age have difficulty bending down to plant and tend to their garden. Having to crouch again to admire a flower isn't an option for them. For that reason, I had no choice but to remove the Scilla from my beds.
