I don't  remember  planting  these but maybe I did. Possibly a bulb or corm that the mice and squirrels  missed 🤔

    Hi @B3

    Looks like brodiaea to me.

    Thank you @Bee witched They were a lovely surprise. Is that one plant?

    I'm not really sure @B3

    I planted some bulbs years ago .... and then planted something else on top of them.
    But they poked their way through anyway and reappear every year.

    I might get some more given that they seem to like it here.

    I've looked them up @B3 as they seem perfect for my new "dry" garden and they are small enough to be sold in lots of 30 bulbs, like crocuses, so I doubt that's one plant.

    They also seed themselves around, if you don't dead head them and there are some variations in the colour when they do.

    I certainly won't deadhead then @Palustris

    I have grown B Queen Fabiola in the past. That could be the one in the photo.
