the Immigrant

Siberian squill, a Eurasian immigrant from southwestern Russia, the Caucasus Mts and Turkey. It naturalizes easily, deer think it tastes nasty and it is the first thing to bloom in my yard every year (except maybe dandelions), what is not to love? The blue is so vivid that you notice it clear across the yard in the new green grass despite its diminutive size. You welcome in my garden, stranger.
