Spring

I saw some blue cylindrical flowers with what looked like tiny bells hanging from its central column that I liked last year at the U.S. Botanical Garden, and when I saw them at the Home Depot a little later, I bought a couple of pots and planted them. It was the first planting I've done around my house, besides trees or bushes, for a decade or more.

I noticed one cylindrical head protruding from the earth a few days ago, then on the first day of spring a few more flowers joined that first pathfinder. My friend says they're liriope and it looks great and I feel great, a new start.
