The Weirdness Chronicles 2007 - Chapter 5
Back in the fall of 2005, I planted English Bluebells in my (then new) Wildflower Garden. They sprouted the following spring, but never bloomed. I was disappointed but willing to wait another year. They sprouted again this spring and even appeared to have multiplied. I have been in suspense all spring. Imagine my surprise when I saw this today:
Neither blue nor bell. Anyone have any ideas? I checked my records. The bulbs came from Breck’s, usually a reliable source.

Are the leaves very skinny with a stripe down them, almost like crocus leaves? If so, then you have Star of Bethlehem, which sows itself like crazy and often rides in on a passalong plant. Many people consider it hideously invasive, so you might want to google it and make up your own mind.
Thanks, Kathy! I'll do that. It's bad enough I have to deal with poison ivy in that bed. I don't need any more pests.
It looks like Iphieon to me. Mine is blooming right now.
Kylee, I've never heard of that. I'll have to look it up.
It looks like Ipheion to me too.
