Do you remember the specialist snowdrop catalog I mentioned way back in January? If you happen to be near Trumansburg, NY, this Saturday, you can visit his garden (and three others) thanks to the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days program. I wish I were touring all four gardens, but I’ve got way too much gardening to do right here at home. Anyone second that?
What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

Ooops. The position of your “comments” link throws me off and I frequently end up posting the comment to the wrong entry.
Well, it’s too hot down here to be in the garden except between 6 and 8 in the morning and perhaps 8 and 9 at night. But you missed my trip to England, then…and a write up of Hidcote Manor Garden–my highlight for May. It was cool and rainy the day we went, and I just look at those photos now and dream of damp earth and green plants.
