belly Flowers

In the Booth family, the tiny ones that you have to get right down on your stomach and enjoy at their level, are always known as "belly flowers". It usually refers to diminutive wildflowers at high elevations, but these Scilla siberica show up scattered here and there in my yard. They catch your eye in amongst the dead leaves and plant debris. Welcome little ones in your Alice Blue gowns.
