When I discovered that the trillium was back again I was delighted. Each year I keep a close watch until it reappears. This one has a special meaning for me since it came from my Mother's garden. It has bloomed since I made this picture but because it is so NOT in the shade I am going to move a protion of it to a less sunny location.
The bluebells were nodding in the breeze and so the picture is not the best but these little guys are real troopers. Coming back year after year and spreading wider each time. Now that I have some of the wooded area cleaned I am going to start putting in some woodland flowers and some ferns. Still battling the Japanese honeysuckle and green briers but I have made some progress in reclaiming the area.

Bluebells aka Cowslips
Virginia Bluebells, Cowslip are native here in Kentucky and are very reliable if planted in shade with soil that is high in orgainc matter. They are one of my favorite flowers but they die back in the summer and should always be planted with perennial that fill in once the blooms and leaves are gone.
