The Garden of Bogturtle

  Plans gone awry, and I will just go with this. I planted, years ago, along the front walk, bulbs of the Spring ephemeral Scilla hispanica, which is similar to the English Blue Bells of their woodlands. That, I think, is S. nonscripta. I planted the three common colors offered. A white, a violet blue and a kind of orchid pink blooming. Now I see only the bluish and pinkisn sort seeded and blooming among the stepping stones of the path. More and more, and while I will weed the path, I will leave these to bloom. Few are still along the left of the path. A group of blue are spreading to the right.  And here, along the front walk, are shown the two different kinds offered to me as Azalea 'Tradition'. A rather doubled. I think the lighter is the more genuine variety.
