Dear Steve
The lovely blue flowers look like some I bought a few years ago - Scilla Siberica var. Spring Beauty.  Perfectly named.  Mass planting can look like a pool of blue water from a distance.  Let me know if you want to buy in bulk, as I still buy from the trade catalogue that Bob Carnell (remember Bob?) used to buy all our plants from.
You are doing amazing things in the garden and I suspect green fingers you were never aware of.  Perhaps Jane's are guiding them?  A word of advice: let it happen and don't beat yourself up for being human.
Love and good wishes
Maureen
