Another favourite Spring flower - lily of the valley! Everything bloomed 3-4 weeks late this year because of the cool weather and seemed to stick around just a little bit longer than usual. A few years ago, I moved my lily of the valley from one side of the house to the other so that they'd have more room to spread. And spread they are! I'm imagining a carpet of them in a few more years. I can't wait!
They are lovely, fragrant, and invasive. Glad that you gave them their own corner! I have noticed that about the flowers. We never did get our forsythia. The lilacs have now gone by.
ReplyDeleteEverything is a little "off" this year although I'm pleasantly surprised at how well some of the plants have done after such a harsh winter!
DeleteHow lovely! They are truly my favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura!
DeleteOh, they do spread!
ReplyDeleteI actually had some "jump" into 2 other gardens this year.
I was tempted to take them out, but they're so pretty.
These are such beautiful photographs, my friend.
Thanks, Lisa! That's why I moved mine ... they were spreading everywhere! Now there's lots of room for them to grow.
DeleteI love lily of the valley! I'd love to try to grow some!
ReplyDeleteOh you should, Elizabeth! They're so beautiful!
DeleteThey are beautiful. I planted some bulbs in my garden one year but nothing came up. I wonder if the squirrels got them. Maybe I'll try again.
