When we did landscaping work in the yard last fall, we removed a lot of old railroad ties from the raised beds in the front yard.

Which gave us an opportunity to replenish soil and plant some new bulbs and shrubs in the front bed.

We moved some of the soil from the front bed to the back yard and mulched the beds.

Never thinking of the possibility we may have unexpectedly moved some of our bulbs to the back yard.

Imagine my surprise this week when the blue flowers of the Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa luciliae) flowers popped up in the back yard raised beds!

After the snowdrops and crocuses have bloomed, the Glory of the Snow are the next flowers to bloom in our southeastern Michigan garden.

How’s your garden growing?
