Bill Rose lived down the street. He was a nurseryman, and he had a wild yard. This was many years ago.
One day Bill stopped by to introduce himself, thinking that we owners of wild yards should get to know each other. He brought bare-root wildflower gifts that have bloomed gloriously every year since then.
Bill’s Bergamot (Bee Balm) are some of the last springtime flowers to bloom, which they suddenly did in lavender profusion yesterday.
Thank you Bill. We miss you.
