Bluebells




Virginia bluebells mertensia virginica.  






I first saw these bluebells in town, growing around a fire hydrant, where the property owner was trying to eradicate them.   I dug some up and brought them here when we moved out here.   They love creeksides that get flooded.    Not far from us is a huge area of them, next to a large creek prone to flooding under the trees.   Beautiful. 


I planted ours in our Squishy Meadow and by the little creek.    These are still blooming even after the floods covered them.
