Mine start later of course.  They pick up where the Chionodoxa leave off.

I like 'em all.  and they bloom for a long time for spring bulbs, from late
February until the end of April here. Sometimes I still have a few blooming 
on Mother's Day.

I've grown the species, Ipheion uniflorum, Spring Starflower, for over 10
years.  Very reliable.  I also put in some of the cultivar, I. u. 'Wisely
Blue' and the hybrid cultivar I. 'Rolf Fiedler' a few years ago.  They're
more richly hued and both have the RHS Award of Garden Merit.  Still, I
think I like the species best.

Iphieons?   I love those.  Try star flower, I think that's one of their


common names.  They do wonderfully here.

Maybe not Ipheon, I was looking at common names too and that was one I

Ipheon grew for you in zone 6? I didn't know it was that hardy.



I love Iris 'Immortality'. It's one of my favorites. It doesn't
usually
re-bloom for me, though. I think it gets shaded out by other plants.
