I don't mind them, at all. They bloom when the Daffodils and Grape Hyacinth open and I think they are lovely.

I'm going to be relocating a bunch of Grape Hyacinth, and some Squill to a pointed, sharp inclined area in my back lot, that's too steep and narrow to mow, with the rider mower. They can take over and spread as much as they want, back there. My hope is they become so dense, they will keep weeds from taking over.
