This low growing Bellevalia cyanopoda is displaying beautifully a purple stem, purple pedicels and unusual blue buds which open to white, with purple stamen.
The word ‘cyanopoda’ actually suggests blue feet!

Bellevalia buds and babies
Today I have three tales from the Bellevalias to share in pictures.
1, The buds on Bellevalia longistyla are still green and tightly packed, but the appearance of a dark collar at the base of the raceme adds a touch of elegance as the flower spike pushes up.
2, Bellevalia cyanopoda looks a little like a pineapple sitting on its leaves with the raindrops close by. The leaves have a subtle touch of red along their margins.

3, And last but not least, not much to look at may be, but very exciting to me… seedlings coming through for Bellevalia paradoxa.
