Name that plant!

[GingerKitCat]

Can anyone tell me what this is? The photo makes it look white but its actually a delicate ice blue.

Apologies in advance if it's something obvious (I'm tired!). I spotted it on my walk home and was quite taken by it

We have some we put in last autumn, but I can't remember their name. Pretty things!

Triteleia? Spring stars maybe?

Can't remember either but it's very nice.

I think it's a whisley blue spring star.
They're related to the onion plant.
Really pretty things.

They look like Chinonodoxia, a lovely spreading bulb. We have them in blue, but you can get them in white. They pop up all over the place, a bit like crocus.

Chionadoxa forbesii I think.

Oops my spelling spread as well!

Ipheion uniflorum

yes - I think Veronica and Trtehew may have it - chinodoxa ( or at least mine) have multiple flowers along the stem- not just one ,

I think triteleia, too.

I have just bought some Trieleia ( Queen Fabiola) corms from Aldi for 99p - it says summer flowering , July -October -?

Triteleia

I agree with trethew and book! Common name is the spring starflower, which sounds lovely!

absolutely book, ipheion has one flower per stem whereas chionodoxa has more. Both have six petals but the chionodoxa's are evenly around the centre and the ipheion's have a sort of three on three arrangement

Glad to have inspired a debate! I've never seen it before but may have to get my mitts on some now
