11/06/2019 – After having relocated the pannicle hydrangeas that did not do well in the narrow driveway bed as well two daylilies, Mary planted a bulb collection to attract bees and butterflies. The collection was bought from Michigan Bulb and the link to the collection is here.
The collection contains:
- 5 Leucojum Aestivum, ‘Summer Snowflake’. upper left photo
- 10 Eranthis hyemalis, ‘Winter Aconite’ or ‘Buttercup’. Yellow in upper center
- 15 Scilla Siberica, ‘Siberian squill’. Center, second down
