Blue Bells, Missoula, Montana

It turns out that all the intermittent rain that cleared our vacation air wasn’t simultaneously gracing the  Missoula valley. So I was glad to see the garden flowers still thriving. Blue bells are a happy childhood reminder of the delicate wildflower bells found on walks in the forests around our summer campgrounds and at the wooded edges of our home pastures. This garden version is sturdier and a bit more prolific in its flowering.
