They are easy to cultivate and come back year after year. 2. GLORY OF THE SNOW (CHIONODOXA FORBESII) Pale blue, heart-shaped, with a white center, this early spring bloom is originally from the alpine regions of Crete, Cyprus, and Turkey. 3. GRAPE HYACINTH (MUSCARI) These ultraviolet trumpets grow in clumps and will reward you with a carpet of color in the spring. 4. GUINEA HEN FLOWER (FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS) This uncommon bulb is known for its checkered or mosaic pattern, reminiscent of the feathered texture of the Guinea Hen. 5. IRISES The beauty of irises is, without question, their painterly violet petals with a shock of yellow, which inspired Vincent Van Gough to start a series of groundbreaking flower paintings. 6. CROCUSES (CROCUS) These precocious flowers are among the first sign of spring in Minnesota, thrusting their blooms through the crust of snow. 7. SNOWDROP (GALANTHUS NIVALIS) White, bell-like flowers look elegant against the snow in the final weeks of winter. 8. WIND FLOWER (ANEMONE BLANDA) Delicate petals dance in an early spring breeze. 9. TULIPS (TULIPA) And finally, tulips. Treasured for their beauty, tulips come in over 3,000 registered varieties. READY TO GET DIGGING? TAKE A LOOK AT OUR GARDEN GUIDE.
