The ever-lovely belladonna

These beauties make their appearance - without warning, it seems, about this time every year. I'm not sure where the bulbs came from or how they ended up in the places we find them, but I always look forward to seeing them spring up every summer. At one time, we had three or four of them in the pond (filled with dirt) in our back yard, but this year only one bloomed there. There are two in our front yard and another in the side yard next to Rimmers. The sight of them gives me so much pleasure.

A mix of colors in my view

We haven't done much in the back yard this year, and I've vowed not to buy more to plant this year; but last year's work is still bringing rewards.
