It rains a lot in Bay area, but it is getting closer to spring. I started to see more plants are growing. I saw a few new plant in a flower bed of the backyard today. It has blue flowers which look like clusters of little blue bells.
I did an image search with [Blue flower little bells] and got "
Muscari". More specifically, it looks like
Muscari armeniacum and typically called as Grape Hyacinth. It is a perennial obviously as I didn't plant but it was there from last year. Originally it grows in Southeastern Europe to Caucasus. The name suggests that it was from around Armenia. It is a flowering bulb. It requires very little care. It blooms early spring and that's why I see the flower now. It grows to 6 to 8 inches tall (really?). It likes sun and is okay in partial shade.
A page says that to propagate, separate bulb offsets in summer, but what is a bulb offset? A bulb offset is a baby bulb which is produced next to a main bulb.
