Forbes' Glory-of-the-snow

Chionodoxa forbesii

Description:

Blue flowers, 5 to 10 cm tall plant. Yellow stamens. Chionodoxa is distinguished from the closely related genus Scilla by two features: the tepals are joined at their bases to form a tube rather than being free; and the stamens have flattened stalks (filaments), which look almost like a cup in the centre of the flower

Habitat:

Found in the grass aside from a road.
