While I was on my mini-walkabout today, I decided to cut some flowers for inside. Things are blooming EVERYWHERE outside, and it is all so lovely! But this little corner of the yard took my breath away.I have had the Spanish Bluebells in my yard before, many times. They are very common here. But I have not ever seen their white cousins in such force before. I looked it up here and they are relitively rare, but I can find no source about them being in the Pacific NW. The sources I found were mostly from England.
Aren't they beautiful?
I currently have them matched up with red tulips from another corner of the yard for a center piece for my kitchen table.

Beautiful!!
Very pretty flowers!
so great to find unexpected flowers - we do that all the time as we are fairly new to our place and each season;s weather brings a different success...
Flowers just make me smile!
These are the "unidentified flowers" in one of my front beds. I am wondering if they are sensitive to differences in soil like hydrangeas? Or perhaps mine have just intermixed. I have blue and white and light blue (OK, purple, really, right?)
@ Jody... those are all spanish bluebells. They can come in colors ranging from pink to deep deep blue to white. They say it is a genetic mutation, but I like to think of them as variation in genes instead. Like a blue eyed child born to two brown eyed people. It happens... just rarely.
I have seen them all. Just not in such force as here. I have some pink ones along the back of the house too. But the most common ones are blue. Those are EVERYWHERE in my yard. Very pretty though! :)
Blessings,
Val
