Success! Last year I transplanted some Virginia Bluebells from a friend’s garden. But I did it in late April, which was not ideal timing. They didn’t have much time to grow before going dormant in the summer heat.
So… I was excited today to see 4 different clumps of bluebells emerging in my perennial flowerbed.

@donray Nice
Took this at a local park many years ago. There is a creek running through it and a LOT of Blue Bells in the flood plain.
When you get flowers, watch for Bumble Bees scissoring in from the back. They can't reach the nectar from the front of the flower. "Nectar thief" is the nickname I learned for such behavior. Flower doesn't get pollinated when this is done.
