{Scilla campanulata - Spanish Blue-Bells in our Garden}

Just another beauty in our gaden, which is so pretty up till now. The Scilla campanulata (Endymion, Hyacinthoides) or commonly called Spanish Blue-Bells, Wood Hyacinths. Portugal and Spain is their origin. Those bulbs make excellent naturalizers and each year you have more and more participating in a show of white bells. Wish you could see them in reality during a Garden Tour from Book an Event with us. But other than that, a virtual tour is the next best thing I have to offer; without coffee/tea and cake however... Our Scilla campanulata are besides our gazebo.
This photo shows the dogwoods still in bloom on March 27 but the rain did knock them all down.

I can't wait for the weather the cooperate in our corner of the world, so we can get outside and start working on the gardens .... Your gazebo is the perfect place to enjoy a nice cup of tea and listen to the Angels ...xo HHL

    Dank je Mariette voor het meegenieten van jouw prachtige tuin en de mooie foto's van de campanulla en de kornoelje. Het is steeds weer genieten. Ik zou trouwens wel een kopje thee willen drinken in jouw prieel en...dan neem ik wel echte stroopwafels mee, hi,hi,hi.
    Lieve groetjes, Elly
