Lily of the valley

Over the years I have planted lily of the valley in various gardens, and it has never really come to anything - partly because I never really planted enough, I suspect, and it always got crowded out.

The odd thing is that I don't actually remember planting any here.  I didn't see it last year, and certainly haven't made any alterations to this area in the last 12 months.  But I shan't look a gift horse in the mouth, and will try to nurture this, and help it to spread.

Although the weather was a little warmer, there was still a cold wind blowing.  Apart from a brief wander outside to find a photo, I once again spent the day inside.

In extras, an overview of the towering echium, the generous broom, and some of our allium.
