daffodils

  • If you have a garden, you probably enjoy displaying your flowers in your home. I have many small vases and bottles with narrow necks, so that I can pop just one or two flowers into them. When I come indoors after my morning walk, I usually bring what I call my "Flower of the Day." It is the flower that has really caught my eye that I want to look at close-up.
  • Always deadhead spring bulbs after they finish blooming or they will put their energy into setting seed, which limits their rejuvenation.
  • My garden is very crowded, and so in the fall, I am always wondering where I can plant more spring bulbs without cutting into the existing ones.
  • Flowers from bulbs are easy to arrange informally in a vase.
  • It is important for gardeners to know their hardiness zone.
