I was riding back up Laurel avenue at the end of my bike ride today and I passed this patch of flowers. I turned around and put my bike down and got my iPhone out. When I got down close to the ground I put my iPhone just above the closest flowers and shot this view. Flowers as far as the eye can see. I had to do a Google Image search and this is what I found out about these flowers: "Scilla siberica, the Siberian squill or wood squill, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to southwestern Russia, the Caucasus, and Turkey. Despite its name, it is not native to Siberia.Many parts of the plant such as the flowers, fruits, leaves, roots, sap, seeds, and stem are poisonous to eat for some animals." Wow!

The flowers are so pretty. What a beautiful shade of blue. It is so nice to see signs of spring. Trace
What a beautiful sight to see while you were riding. Happy Spring.
I used to think of these flowers as Bluebells.
I looked up blue star shaped flowers in the Northeast. They showed Starflowers. Regardless of what kind of flower, they are so pretty. Still hoping for warmer weather as we see signs of Spring
