Thanks for your replies, wirosarian, Jackie, Patty, and SoFL rose. I'm surprised to hear that our temps could be cold enough to cause this. We have days in the 60's and nights in the 40's lately. But, I guess it does make sense, because if it was much colder, it wouldn't bloom at all. I never would have considered cold temperatures causing it. Some sort of bug was consistently ruining the buds on Irish Creme during the summer. I just assumed it was the same thing. I think you guys maybe correct. I'm looking more closely now, and I don't really see chewing from a pest. I'm glad I asked, because I never once thought it could be anything but pest damage. Thank you all so much! Lisa

If you are a DIYer, here are some plans that you could easily modify to get a similar look: Farmhouse bed I've made a couple of versions of this bed so far and it is very easy with minimal tools needed. You could add some decorative molding to it if you want it a bit more fancy. The plans are available in other sizes as well on that site. You could even make a bench similar to the one shown - she has plans for something similar there as well and it is on my Spring DIY project list.

when you dig around areas with bulbs... you can get very tiny bulblets... that you barely notice.. and for the first year or two.. they might just look like grass ... they can also seed around a bit ... if the flowers are left to ripen ... ken https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Scilla+siberica&t=ffcm&iax=images&ia=images

I don't believe it is tile, as the cuts don't make sense. Could it be laminate? Is there a way to tell? It is at the top of the stairs, and I believe it may have been in the kitchen as well.
