Grape hyacinths were living on this property when we moved in. They lived in random corners and edges wherever the ratty lawn allowed.

I’ve enjoyed these flowers since I was a kid. They seem to be everywhere, in every yard, leftover from bygone days. That’s reason enough to appreciate them, but they also have beautiful flowers.

These plants have a floppy demeanor, leaf-wise, so the probably would be better off planted in sunnier spots and surrounded by fast-growing perennials that cover up the flop.

In 2020, I hope to pop a few of these bulbs out of the woodland garden and pop them into the memory garden.
