Flowers of the day
Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum). They are a bulb plant that pops up in spring, and spread easily, sometimes even aggressively. They are in my lawn as well but I don't mind as they are beautiful! Aaron planted them about 25 years ago. They are part of Aaron I do not mind keeping at my house!
Here are forget-me-nots (Myosotis). I know these are shade-friendly, they self-seed, and they give that soft, woodland feel that I really love. I have planted some seeds along the new drainage stream. I hope they take!
Allium, an ornamental onion. These are bulbs that come back every year, and they feel structural , tall and very intentional-looking in the garden. These are probably my favorite and I want to plant more in the fall!
The bright orange cluster flowers are wallflowers (Erysimum). I know they love the sun, have a long bloom time, and act as a strong color anchor in the space. I would like to grow some more! They grew from seeds I planted last summer.
I have a bulb backbone with the allium and Star of Bethlehem. I have self-seeding spreaders with the forget-me-nots. I also have a color anchor with the wallflowers.
