Following the snowdrops and daffodils of early spring, late April sees our garden transformed into a sea of blue. Forget-me-nots appear everywhere, flashing thousands of tiny petals in the most unlikely places; these delicate flowers always bring to mind the people who have touched our lives over the years.

   Joining them are the Camassia—striking blue spikes often known by the affectionate, historic name ‘Indian Lilies.’ Meanwhile, bluebells have claimed the shady corners, spreading into lush clusters beneath the showy garden shrubs. To complete the scene, we introduced fresh Petunias and Verbenas, from  the local garden centre.

This brief ‘blue period’ is a beautiful herald of the roses and late-summer blooms soon to arrive. 🌿✨
