Surprisingly, they were one of our earliest bloomers this year! The main plant is under the lilac tree... They apparently love the shade and moisture. And when you pick the blooms, the white ones fade to a pale lilac colour. - Actually, if you have a damp shady spot near the house, you could always transplant a few. <br />Meanwhile, we still only have 2 tulips in the front yard, while everyone else have tons of them! ;-[ But the Lilies-of-the-Valley are coming along. Hopefully, they'll out-number the dandelions! -- The temps have been all over the map here for well over a month now, so it's no wonder that the plants can't decide on when to come up! "Suppose" to be WARM this weekend, so we'll have to see what pops up!<br />:-D<br />Auntie Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300073760215969631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-26699462422805732542016-05-19T20:25:56.460-04:002016-05-19T20:25:56.460-04:00http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/woodland/plant...http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/woodland/plants/yl_troutlily.html<br /><br />They're in Illinois too, but hard to find now that invasive species have choked our woodlands practically to death. Same goes for our trilliums. I'm glad to see you have healthy patches in your area.Savannagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982961676841031512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-37947013529569035662016-05-19T20:05:45.393-04:002016-05-19T20:05:45.393-04:00Yes, I was going to say the same thing.
