Mandevilla and liriope in bloom
Soaked by rain, the wild liriope went crazy with purple flowers. Thanks to a post by an anonymous commenter, I now know a bit of the relationship, in Greek mythology, between Liriope and Narcissus. Narkissos was her son, and was transformed into the eponymous flower after his short, self-adoring life.

The liriope pictures is beautiful...the way the flowers "echo." And, you are right, these can be seen everywhere in N.C. right now!
ReplyDeleteThank you for appreciating a common sight!
DeleteAccording to Greek mythology, Liriope gave birth to Narcissus.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea! That's something I'll read up on now - thanks! This is the sort of "anonymous tip" that I like!
