Muscari.. . Say What?

i have very few clear memories of when i was a young girl.

it used to drive my mom bonkers.

I think she thought it reflected poorly on my childhood - instead of it being purely a demonstration of my unique 
and semi.talented brain. [smirk]

the things that i do remember bring back such warmth that I can't help but smile inside and out.

every year, when these sprout from the ground i feel my childhood all over again.

.albeit it so very short.

Yup .. . these beautiful flowers have that ugly name [muscari - who woulda thought?]
