The Noble Tulip

by James Alexander-Sinclair

It is time to order bulbs for next spring. In fact it has been that time for a while and I have rather failed to get round to it until now - efficiency and timekeeping are not always my strongpoints. I order lots of bulbs for different clients: everything from Crocus to Camassia and Tritelia to Tulips.
Which brings us very neatly to the point of today’s blog - the noble Tulip.
All Tulips descend from small species varieties that ramble across the stony slopes and hills of southern Europe and Arabia. These species (and their hybrids) are often ignored by gardeners: this is a mistake as, although they are small and puny (most are only 15cm high) in comparison to most of their descendants, they tend to flower a bit earlier and, en masse, or grouped at the front of borders they are entrancing.  son môi 3ce son etude house son môi etude house 




The Tulip was first introduced to Western Europe by, so the story goes, by the German Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Oghier Ghislain de Busbecq in the sixteenth century. He was an energetic fellow who is also credited with introducing the eager bb cream skinfood  Europeans to the Angora Goat. Eventually, Tulips ended son môi etude house up in the Netherlands where the Dutch took them to their hearts. So much so that, in one of the less sensible periods of their history, it led to the massive speculation and excitement of Tulip Mania when the value of certain bulbs rocketed from a bit pricey to completely ridiculous - at one point a single tulip was traded for goods worth 2,500 florins, at a time when you could get a tonne of butter for 100 florins, four oxen for 450 florins and a skilled labourer earned 150 florins in a year. It was a short lived mania (less than a year) which eventually collapsed very swiftly leaving many people out of pocket.
Even today the Dutch lead the way  bb cream etude house in breeding and developing Tulips. In the spring the acres and acres of bulb fields will be in full flow and drawing the attention of eager coach tours from across the continent, at this time of year it is all in the planning. bb cream the face shop At the Keukenhof Gardens they will plant somewhere in the region of five million of them over the next few weeks. The full range of colour and shape thefaceshop is laid out in row after row of flower stretching away into the distance. Although spectacular, many might find the experience a bit overwhelming, in gardens it is often best to interweave Tulips among emerging perennials or under deciduous shrubs rather than lining them up like imperial guardsmen.

Today's photos are from Jeff Calton down in Tennessee . Jeff sent in these photos about 10 days ago. He said, "With most of the herbaceous plants now gone until next spring we have to sometimes search for color and beauty in the garden. There is plenty out there if you look closely. The intensified color, almost perfect geometry of some of the plants, the lacework of frost on the leaves--the winter face of the garden. So...get out there, crawl around, look closely, and put on the "macro glasses." You will be surprised what you find in the garden in





November." Great advice, Jeff. I found myself doing this in my garden last weekend as I took breaks from raking the I-kid-you-not 10 tons of leaves in my yard. A friend was helping me and asked me if I was mad that the Japanese maple was hanging on to its leaves for so long, and that I'd have to do the raking all over again in a couple of weeks. I looked up at the crimson the face shop leaves glowing against the sky and thought, "No, it's worth it for this." The miscanthus blooms, too, are fascinating as they open up and get puffier and fluffier. My Dutchman's pipe has dropped all its massive leaves, but the splayed open  3 concept eyes seed pods are works of pure art. OK,  bb cream the face shop maybe I need to start taking some pictures....Thanks, Jeff, for the reminder to find beauty wherever you can, even if you have to shiver to do it!  thefaceshop

Depending on personality, interests of each homeowner that we designed to highlight any area. Many owners enjoy and bonsai enthusiasts, carbon wrong arrangement of flowers play a scene in front of the living room that can sit in this room are fully observed and that detailed, unique tree employer. But many homeowners are taking more discreet area to arrange flowers at the scene where the corner to relax in their spare time to rest and enjoy.

 - The layout and placement of parts depending on the rate of matter. for example : Place house facades emphasize the use of large potted , beautiful , luxurious and more expensive to present the unique plant world . Taking advantage of the halo effect or color to religious bodies want to highlight .

 - Eliminate the cumbersome details

for example, work on the mound green tree cycads including 3 groups . Tall and big trees located in the upper part of most major timber trees can also two smaller groups that object ( type 1 primary and 2 secondary ) . The entire mound of grass on a blue velvet dotted 1-2 , misalignment rocks form a simple style " shaped river , that mountain " living beings and coherent .

A landscape designer , garden , there are " picturesque scene , implying deposition " the successful work done so people will see it again and again and soul vibrations .


5 . Symmetrical balance layout

The layout is symmetrical balance towards unity , coherence and order in line . In the garden landscape can assume axis in the middle of the front of the house using this form layout in case of high demand or ritual to emphasize the focus . This layout is very stable and static should be in most decorated villa ding , the luxury hotel provides relaxing stay nghoi . The downside of it is monotonous and lack of transformation .

Exit this layout difficult to determine the axis of symmetry for the scene , the two plants are not identical . Arrange plants , flowers in the garden of this type in place is not the main area of the garden as place to relax mentally , landscaping areas and not in front of the entrance or guest house .
