Love it Judy, A little story :) There I was strolling through the garden day dreaming about what an elephant flock's manure could do for my dry mountain top. Past a drift of freesias I breathed their sweet perfume & follow a painted pallet of zephyranthes edging the path, with a sparkle of geissorhiza dancing in the sunlight like little bright coloured florescent mirrors, over by the pond their is a rush of water iris & behind them a dance of flinders lily & hidden in the shadows there is a lush of Caldwell & Amazon lilies who's bright white blooms highlight a dense of pink amarcrinums.. A powder of Japanese iris gently move by the water & a cascade of dark blue grape hyacinth are bursting their autumn buds. A hide of powder blue scilla spring up amongst the rock garden, around the corner a supernova of Aztec lilies explode into an inferno of clay fired red... What a nice story you can design with group names of bulbs :) On 15 August 2015 at 07:10, Judy Glattstein <jgglatt@gmail.com> wrote: > Rubbing her hands together with glee - I enjoy this sort of thing.
