Springtime on the mountain.


We found bluebells all along the mountain road....these plants have such beautiful green leaves...almost prettier than the flower! They are growing mingled with wild larkspur...which was not blooming...just beginning to bud. Together they make a nice combination planting ....the bluebell with its paler lavender flower and smooth leaves and the larkspur with its 'teethy' leaves and deep purple flower.

I love the bluebell picture, and fits with my current musing about the relationship between wild and garden. Thanks for your visit and comment. Cheers, catmint

Thanks, Catmint
I can't resist bringing some of the wild into the garden...just want to be able to enjoy it 'up close'....always try to plant those plants in the same environment they are found growing naturally.
