Last month, we ran across a sale on bulbs at our local Mardens. Since we had a flower bed that didn't have anything in it, we picked up a ton of bulbs to fill it up. One of the packages was labeled as "Norwegian Daffodils" and were like nothing that we had ever seen before. We were skeptical but, I planted about 40 bulbs spread out generously in the empty patch. Not even 3 weeks later, we were treated to this:
The best part is, there are 3 more of these getting ready to open. Our wildflower patch has some new arrivals. Some interesting Clover flowers that I have never seen before and some purple Bachelors' Buttons.
If you are noticing a penchant for blue and purple flowers over other colors, it's not by happenstance. Sarah really loves purple and her choices show it.
