Thanks to all for responding to the bluebell question. My father lives out
in the country and we plan to take a trip out into the woods and see what
goodies we can find on his property or the next property which is owned by
my uncle and cousin. Last year I found bloodroot, trillium and spring
beauties. I don't think I got the spring beauties planted fast enough
because I fear I don't see any signs of them either. I hope I said all of
the common names correctly as I don't have a wildflower guide in front of
me. I need to dig it out and start learning the latin names also.Anyway my
Dad thinks he knows where there is spot of bluebells growing. I would also
like to find some phlox and some of the yellow violets too.
