That is a crocus, looks like maybe Whitewell Purple, looks like my WP's anyway.

Thanks Karen! :) They're beautiful!

it is a fall planted.. spring flowering bulb ... it will die back by june or so .. mark the spot.. to avoid disturbing it ...

if left there.. in 10 years.. there will be a couple hundred of them ... if not thousands ...

Thanks for the info Ken. :)

I look again tomorrow. I was thinking, it came from a potted plant that was given to me by builder last October. It's the same area where I planted the coneflowers and black eyed susans.

Nice pictures, Ellen! I love the Puschkinia. I have just a couple that escaped the squirrels digging them out a few years ago right after planting. Now that I have had luck protecting newly planted bulbs with mesh pinned to the ground, I plan to buy more this fall.

What is the one on the last picture? The blue one with the ferny foliage?

anemone coronaria, bulbs have to be lifted same as dahlia in our zone.
