One particular garden bed of mine became a jungle 15 years ago when I moved to my new house, and only in the last couple years have I been reclaiming it back from the weeds. Hyacinthoides hispanica persisted under the dense overgrowth & it is blooming beautifully this year. http://goo.gl/d23xst/ I don't remember much discussion about this genus or species on PBS, so I thought I'd share some pics that I took this evening. It regularly sets seed, so I can donate some to PBS this summer if there's interest. Enjoy! Dennis in Cincinnati
