There need be no question in your mind about the market for good flower bulbs grown photography. One of the big slide film distributors has found flower bulbs grown fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen flower bulbs growns. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of flower bulbs growns grown by the buyer in his own soil. The only flower bulbs grown fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful flower bulbs grown projected. A close-up of a lovely flower bulbs grown on a screen is a sight to make anyone, flower bulbs grown lover or not, gasp at its beauty.
Small bulbs such as grape hyacinths (Muscart) and scillas are often grown in rock gardens or used to make carpets of spring color beneath taller plants. Because spring-flower bulbs growning bulbs die down in summer they can be used effectively with deciduous shrubs, which are bare of leaves when the bulbs are growing and flower bulbs growning, or with herbaceous plants, most of which will hardly have started to grow so early in the year.
Winter aconite (Eranthis), snowdrops, crocuses, scillas, chinodoxas, muscaris, and daffodils are all particularly recommended for this kind of two-tier planting, as they do not have to be lifted every year but can be left undisturbed for several years until they become overcrowded. |
