Glory of the Snow

These delicate blue flowers are known as Glory of the Snow. (Formerly, Chionodoxa). They are a joy to find with their white and yellow centers blooming amidst early spring grasses.

This image was captured on an early spring visit to Krug Park in St. Joseph, Missouri.  I went specifically looking for early spring blooms. There was little to find in the park, but these were a pleasant surprise.  I don’t think I’ve photographed this kind of flower before. I thought they were wildflowers but later learned they are grown from bulbs…so, someone planted them at some point in the past.
