Although I have to defend myself that indeed they have not been mowed down by my mower- we aren't like that and we don't plan to mow for awhile yet- at least not until thse lil' beauties die down!Amanda Thomsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08255199383545198467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15448318.post-62300837375310343362008-04-20T07:48:00.000-07:002008-04-20T07:48:00.000-07:00Amanda: Indeed, these plants are very, very "Old School", dating back to the 1600's. They are Scilla bifolia, characterized by an UPWARD-turning head and two leaves, hence the "bi" part of their name. Also, yours are mowed down by your mower, so they aren't as tall as normal. They occur in white, pink and blue and are naturally smaller than S. siberica. I have them everywhere at the cottage along with S.siberica. Now, do I have naming rights????Beenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15448318.post-41898938456527420772008-04-15T02:14:00.000-07:002008-04-15T02:14:00.000-07:00::bashes head on desk ::<BR/><BR/>Oh well, yonks since I did a plant ID test, it was good practice!Zoëhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09838367166662822058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15448318.post-26957154860700815732008-04-14T15:35:34.039-07:002008-04-14T15:35:34.039-07:00I admire your sticktoitiveness, Zoe.
