And some very tiny blue blooms on some spring weed - in the garden.
Another little blue (sorry, not a bulb), spring weed -

They are both cute
The first is some kind of veronica...maybe Veronica persica.
I like this one--it's cute and fairly well behaved. It is an annual, but it seeds so well that I swore it was a perennial until I finally accepted that it is not
The second is Glechoma hederacea or any number of common names for obnoxious--we called it creeping charlie where I used to live and was overrun with the stuff...because the flowers are cute, it smells kinda good, it stays pretty green when you don't water the lawn and it doesn't have to be mowed near as often. However, some little biting insects liked to hang out in the leaves and my poor dogs would get bites on their bellies whenever they would lie in the creeping charlie. It is a perennial in the mint family and it behaves like it. We don't have it around where I live now, thankfully. One of the upsides to the desert I guess, but we have plenty of other nasty weeds that are not near as cute.

I'm still loving the ipheon now--good long bloom on these guys and they are sorta bluish

Here are a few pics from a different perspective
