How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mine seems to be doing quite well.

I did go all the way back for these stupid things.  Honeywort, Blue Shrimp plant, or if you are technical, Cerinthe major.  I don’t know why I needed them so bad but they look beautiful with my foxglove.

And here we have a lovely specimen of  Convallaria majalis Albostriata, or variegated Lily-of -the-Valley.  Notice the beautifully striped foliage and large white bell-shaped flowers.

Such a wonderful addition to my garden this year.

    I love that she is dressed like a little lily-of-the-valley! Her hat is definitely the best part of the outfit!
