Sprig of Spring Beauty

These very tiny, delicate flowers are known as “Spring Beauty” and “Siberian Squill.” Their formal name is Scilla Siberic. They are some of the very first flowers to appear in the spring.

I often capture a view of these flowers from a small bunch that bloom in our flower bed at home.  This year, I was slow on the trigger and missed our home bloom. The blooming only lasts a few days. I was fortunate to find this single plant at a local park.

Scilla Siberic is native to southwestern Russia, the Caucasus, and Turkey. Despite its name, it is not native to Siberia.
