Choice Morsels

Today, my Portuguese Squill is in season! The heads make the most interesting photo specimens as they first begin to bloom, the blossoms gradually unfurling a few at a time until it's one full, flat head of bluish-purple flowers! Easy to grow. It's a bulb you plant in the fall. Of the 5 original bulbs I planted 3 years ago, 4 survived and have doubled.  

  Today, I thought I'd share 3 pictures of things in my Garden in full Spring Bloom! Everything is signaling that, here in Florida, winter is over! My Porteguese Squill: So unique looking! Had bluish-purple flowers that gradually unfurl from the center! My Winter Jasmine is looking pretty now! It's actually been blooming a few flowers ever since November, but now that's spring is on, it's really getting covered! I keep it trimmed in this draping form. Finally, a have a large cluster of Spring Snowflakes appearing around a stump in a back bed where I planted the bulbs years ago every spring! This photo is a close view of the flowers. They remind me of little white skirts edged with green dots, like small upside down tulips.
