This type of flower is growing wild all over the hill in back of my pool. So of course I snap a pix and bring it here. Anyone wish to be so kind as to identify it for me?
Beginning life as reddish-purple, the buds of Virginia Bluebells become blue, bell-shaped flowers. The plant can grow to 2′ tall and is lovely in naturalized settings. They tolerate most soil conditions but prefer sandy, peaty soil and significant shade.
Bloom time Mid to late April through late May.
I have seen these before in my nature walks and when there are many all together it truly is a sight to behold.

In my country, we call those uranus trumpet plants.

You took a very nice photo, Mike.
Beautiful honey! I love them! Virginia Bluebells. Nice!
Thanks Barb… at least now I can assign a name to the beauty that graces my back-yard.
