Out in the yard.

 I rarely go on the one side of my house. There's just no reason to. The one day I was out in the yard and for whatever reason I wandered over that way. It was a pleasant surprise to see something pretty growing.



I know there are grape hyacinth in there and I always thought the white ones were lily of the valley. I could be wrong and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I tried to verify their identity with my phone but kept getting bluebells as a description and I know that's not right.

  4. I think I may have misspoke. Are they like the white ones at this website? Spanish Bluebells maybe?

  8. google says they are Hyacinthoides Hispanica 'White'
    Spanish Bluebell, ''
    I never really care about what flowers are, I just love them and it doesn't matter if they are weeds or flowers. I know you are glad you walked around there, you almost missed them. since you don't walk there, why not pick a few an put in a vase

  9. Not lily-of-the-valley. Easiest way to know if they are is to sniff them. Lily-of-the-valley have a strong scent. Pretty whatever they are...

  14. What an awesome surprise! Lily of the Valley have broad leaves, but it looks like everyone else has positively identified them for you. I love how nature can make your day with something so simple and lovely.

  15. They did look like Lily of the Valley to me but I guess I'm wrong. I recently heard that Lily of the Valley are very fragrant. However, I think they are usually very tiny and close to the ground.

  16. There is a flower that is similar to lily of the valley but taller and generally more showy. But I don't know what it's called so I'm not much use!
