What a wonderful "walk around" your garden Cali. I could really feel the
safe and sanctuary ambience it must have. Please attach pictures! Your
courtyard sounds beautiful!

I read somewhere an amusing story about the Mediterranean native, Scilla
peruviana. The reason for its specific name was the fact that the bulbs
were being shipped to England on a boat named "the Peru" which foundered
off the southern coast. The bulbs floated to the shore where many took
root and grew in the sand.  Whether true or not, I have no idea.
