Question
I found these little beauties in an area with very dry shade under a dogwood tree in my backyard in Worcester. Initially I thought they were violets, but I don't believe they are - they have 6 petals and are bell-shaped. Are you able to identify these for me? Please and thank you. Denise
Answer
Dear dhmcginley, your plant looks like a species of Hyacinthoides (bluebell). The flowers do not go with the leaves (the leaves are a separate plant from the flowering stalk). Best wishes.
