8147-Mating-flower-birds

Streamwood Estates, Rochester Hills, MI

Back home at Streamwood I was looking for birds and actually got some decent pics of common birds, but this is my favorite for the time. Early plants looking like birds! So cool!!!

After posting the pic and asking "what?", a birding friend told me these are Scilla siberica: "Siberian Squill". Another birder said these are the earliest plants of spring - along with Crocus. Lovely! It is a bulb you can buy.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

In a site on the web, I learned that these can be planted in a lawn, and will be done by the time the grass needs to be mowed. That sounds interesting!
