Folks remembering seeing grape hyacinths naturalized along Texan hwys may have been mystified at their failed attempts to establish purchased bulbs in their home gardens. This explains why.

I love the grapies! It amazes me that some people see this lovely little thing as a weed! How could anything that blooms be a weed!?!?!?

Oh wait, the bind weed does have a pretty pink flower but I do not like it choking my plants! In the eye of the beholder...

How's this - One gal's weed is another's treasure
And, it ain't a weed if it is wanted!
