The exciting part of gardening is seeing things you planted a year ago come up again. Well last year my obsession was the blue bell. Every where I went I saw them and wanted them in my garden. The sweet little blue bell who knew you were so desirable. I guess the feeling of nostalgia over came me. In the house I grew up on Fulton in West Van we had plenty of blue bells all in the front left part of the garden. As a child, I remember seeing them when I was playing or helping my mom in the garden. So last year when I was reunited with the blue bell; I knew I had to have some in my garden. Luckily, I was able to buy one lonely blue bell at the Hospital thrift store plant sale last year. So this spring, I was thinking where are you blue bell? Well out of the ground and to my great surpise there popped out my Blue Bell.

According to the internet, the formal name of the blue bell is
Hyacinthoides non-scripta (formerly
Endymion non-scriptus or
Scilla non-scripta) is a
bulbous perennial plant, found in Atlantic areas from north-western Spain to the
British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the
common bluebell or simply
bluebell, . In spring,
H. non-scripta produces a nodding, one-sided inflorescence of 5–12 tubular, sweet-scented violet–blue flowers. It is particularly associated with
ancient woodland where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in "
bluebell woods".
