In a Vase, On Monday – Raindrops on Snowflakes

A light rain fell all day yesterday, boughing down branches and pretty much everything else as well, so I was quick about cutting a few Leucojum and Narcissus ‘Quail’ stems. Summer Snowflake, with flowers eerily similar to Lily of the Valley (without the fragrance) are quickly reaching peak bloom; the bulbs multiply readily in my garden so I’ve used these two clumps as ‘feeders’ – digging up a portion every year or two and spreading them around the yard and gardens. It’s a nice look – just as most of the tall daffs have faded away there are these tall spires of small white flowers taking their place, Anyway, here’s my little vase this week, joining Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.

Here are the two largish patches of Leucojum – in a semi-shaded part of the Island Bed. Have a great week everyone!
