Virginia Blue Bell Flowers

Here are some pictures of a Virginia Bluebell flower growing in Memphis and Sellersburg Indiana. According to Wikipedia this flower is also known as the Virginia Cowslip, Lungwort Oysterleaf, and Roanoke Bells. The scientific name is Mertensia virginica.

The flower seems to start out looking like a deflated balloon or raisin that is violet colored. It then changes to a blue color and opens up into more of a bell shape.

Grape Hyacinth

This flower is normally used as a complementary flower probably because of its small size. I found this one planted with miniature daffodils (Narcissus cyclamenius). The grape hyacinth (Muscari hotryoides) has blue to purple upside down urn shaped flowers in a cluster that looks like a bunch of grapes. The plants seem small at maybe 10-15 cm in height. These flowers tend to be grown with daffodils, tulips, and Dutch hyacinths.
