Snowdrops and Daffodils


I have had reports of snowdrop and daffodil sitings. I have not seen them myself, but the sources were quite reliable. Of course I have been looking at seed catalogs since January, but the emergence of flowers is a true sign of spring. Yes, I realize we are supposed to get snow on Saturday, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming. My dreaming is helped by some great flower gardening books. Here are a few that you might want to take a look at:

Beautiful Perennials: Simple Techniques to Make Your Garden Sensational by edited by Marilyn Rogers.

Encyclopedia of Perennials: The Definitive Illustrated Reference Guide edited by Graham Rice. (American Horticultural Society)

Instant Gardens: High-Impact Makeovers that Look Great Right Now edited by Michael McKinley.

The Perennial Gardener's Design Primer: The Essential guide to Creating Simply Sensational Gardens by Stephanie Cohen.

Or, if you would just like to browse, come in and look in the 635.9 - 635.9332 number area, it is sure to make you dream of spring.
