Focus On Flowers
Do you follow Gertrude Jekyll’s advice about always planting three, or multiples of three?
Camassias are delightful when grouped together in the garden or in a vase.
In much of the Northern Hemisphere, March is the month where every garden worthy of the name, does have some daffodils in bloom.
Flowers from bulbs are easy to arrange informally in a vase.
Each of us has our own personal method by which we confirm the onset of spring. For me it is when my ground-hugging yellow aconites bloom.
I am now digging big wide round holes and placing lots of bulbs of different sizes and bloom times all together at differing depths.
Ninety percent of the bulbs in home flower gardens belong to just 6 genera: Narcissus, Tulipa, Hyacinthus, Iris, Lilium and Gladiola.
Try freezing edible flowers into ice cubes for a unique touch to your dinner party drinks.
