OH THOSE FRAGRANT LILLIES OF THE VALLEY

Growing in several spots of the garden, lillies of the valley with their little bell like flowers are delightful. The fragrance permeates making sitting on the back porch so enjoyable!
Once the flowers fade, the green stays in those areas of the garden that need a little green! do you have these perennials in your flower beds?

MY JUNE GARDEN


Sometimes the flowers grow so quickly the garden becomes a blur! Like my onion flowers coming up everywhere. My squirrels planted some in places throughout the flower beds-places I did not want them to be!

These wild flowers transplanted in my yard are in full bloom. There are patches along the side of the highways where they are in abundance. Quite pretty in contrast to other weeds that can be seen-like the dandelions! Remember-purple and yellow flowers attract butterflies!
Does anyone know the name of the flowers? I  could try to research in one of my gardening books but I know there are experts out there! How is your June garden coming along?

FORGET ME NOTS

Are  beautiful little flowers that comes up in the Canadain Spring garden. I am sure it has a more scientific name. They are easily transplanted from one spot to another. If they are growing in one of my paths, I just gently pull them saving the roots and put in another place in the garden. Do you have this lovely flower in one of your beds?
