Green Star – a very unusual<br />

T. ‘Marilyn’<br />

T. ‘Marilyn, with its<br />

long curvy shape,<br />

looks quite elegant and<br />

sophistocated in the<br />

garden. Here combined<br />

with N. ‘Petrel’ (p. 18),<br />

although each flower’s<br />

shape is quite different,<br />

those differences<br />

actually help them look<br />

more appealing and less<br />

formal together.<br />

�Moonlight Girl – from soft<br />

yellow to creamy white as it<br />

matures, this elegant flower<br />

will be the perfect choice for<br />

the Evening Garden or when<br />

contrasting this light colored<br />

flower with bright colors;<br />

T. ‘Purple Dream’<br />

We love combining<br />

different but<br />

complimenting colors and<br />

shapes of flowers that<br />

bloom at the same time.<br />

the lead singer of this trio<br />

(p. 42)singing back-up.<br />

Collectively, they put on<br />

quite a show!<br />

White Triumphator – sometimes<br />

opens with a creamy<br />

yellow flush but matures to<br />

a lovely ivory; very elegant,<br />

especially when combined<br />

with other white flowers to<br />

create an ‘Evening Garden’ or<br />

with bright, contrasting colors;<br />

IMPORTANT<br />

Getting your soil right is probably the most important and<br />

most cost effective first step that someone can take to<br />

assure gardening success. We’ve believed in the importance<br />

of adding organic matter to the soil for many years<br />

and as each year passes, our belief becomes stronger.<br />

More flowers are produced; plants are healthier, more<br />

lush, taller and require less care and water when planted<br />

in enriched soil. We sometimes hear the questions, “My<br />

soil is just yucky ole’ clay...that’s okay, isn’t it? <strong>Bulb</strong>s<br />

grow anywhere...right?” Yes, they may emerge almost<br />

anywhere as long as they get a winter, but they may not<br />

flourish! Our soil is very sandy on our farm and we constantly<br />

add amendments to try to improve it...or give back<br />

to it since it gives SO much to us! The addition of lots of<br />

well-decomposed compost, leaves, horse manure...anything<br />

that will enrich the soil and add unrefined nutrients<br />

T. ‘Maytime’<br />

is one of the reasons for our gardening successes!<br />
