Lily-of-the-Valley

Mines not quite there yet, this year its really gone mad and weaved itself about in our pond border do love it though might move some into the wood.

the LOTV is just emerging here...as are the bluebells. We're really behind the season...but a few days of sun and a couple of nights without frost and POW! everything is doing it's thing. I have a pic of the little hillock that the LOTV has taken over... it looks so barren compared to all the gardens on here.

The wood is a perfect place for it Kathy we have a local wood where it grows wild the scent is heavenly ... I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing the Bluebells are blooming Lori , guess what its 3 years & 3 months since you sent me the Arisaema triphyllum bulbs they are at long last uncurling a flower I'm hoping to very soon be able to put a photo on here for you to see :o))

I simply love these Amy. I wish I would have a whole forest of them instead of vinca.

the Vinca does kind of take over doesn't it Klahanie ...

That's exciting, Amy! I'll stay tuned!
Klahanie: I like vinca but have been trying to get it to establish since we moved here... you've reminded me to go and have a look.

It might not be so invasive in your climate Lori. I am amazed how well it grows here , even in completely dark dry places.

I do like these Amy, but am sorry to say that when we moved here 2 years ago, they had completely taken over my borders letting nothing else through, so had to go ! It took ages to clear them ! As it is a smaller garden than I'm used to, I needed the space !

I love them but unlike Rose we just cannot get them to grow at all!

When we were in France last week, I bought a bunch at one of the markets and was so pleased with them.

They do seem to have a mind of their own Rose / Chris I tried for years to get them to grow in an area I wanted them to be in without success I finally moved them a couple of years ago they are much happier and are thriving now ...lucky you buying a bunch in France Chris I hope they lasted until you came home :o)

Ours have been very slow to get going, but I noticed the variegated ones are through, also the pink ones but only the leaves unfortunately....

Interesting Angela I didn't know there were pink ones I'm looking forward to seeing a pic.of them !

No flowers as get Amy, just leaves!!
