Weird question. Are the purple flowrrs these?
Nope! They're this sort of waxy dark purple color, with thicker lines down the center
Okay after some googling apparently they're Siberian/Wood squill or Scilla siberica
The ones that come up in my yard are identical to the second picture
100% an invasive species here, they're native to southwestern Russia, Hungary, and the Caucasus
but I'm not so sure it's a good thing I've been eating them as there's apparently probably very poisonous, whoopsie

"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."
