Now I am going to have to figure out if I have a place for them. A large part of my garden is wet, even after bringing in yards and yards of compo-soil.

I know I'm a little late for Wildflower Wednesday, but I had to tell you about the discovery I made on the actual wildflower day. Early one month, then late the next... fingers crossed I'm on time next time. Hope you are well in the current crisis and keep safe xxxVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-31517104090014221602020-03-27T20:36:38.375-05:002020-03-27T20:36:38.375-05:00I do love Virginia Bluebells.

I put this down to rabbits, who decided that Virginia Bluebells were delicious after leaving it on their plate untouched for many years.

My garden club visited a private property, more than ten years ago, and the owners allowed us to dig up some plants from the many thousands they had growing along a creek bed. Also not surprising, the road adjacent to this property was named Mertensia Road. I've moved and divided my plants from where I originally planted them and they are doing well, slowly expanding, again even though the habitat is not ideal. I'll have to check to see if the leaves are poking through yet on my next walkabout. I am in western NY and currently in lock down from the virus.<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-83831978510293897592020-03-26T16:42:47.916-05:002020-03-26T16:42:47.916-05:00Love pink and blue changeant flowers.
