"Glory of the Snow"

These flowers seem to flourish in just a bed of rocks. They are such a beautiful shade of blue. I am not sure what the flowers are but I do know I really like them. Thanks to a couple friends, I learned what the flower is. To quote one of them, "Quite possibly Chionodoxa Luciliae better known to is amateurs as "glory of the snow"."
