I remember when I first started Max's Garden here. It just didn't have any history or character but it didn't take it long to develop it.

My botanical crocuses (<I>C. vernus</I> and <I>C. tommaninianus</I> are naturalizing at a good speed, and also my native daffodils (<I>Narcissus pseudonarcissus</I>) are doing well. The botanical tulips (<I>Tulipa sylvestris</I>), the only tulip I really like, seems to hesitate, but I have discovered grape hyacint (<I>Muscari botryoides</I> at the other side of the garden.)<BR/>I'm going to find out where I can optain the book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-85592272873184387312009-03-12T02:06:00.000-04:002009-03-12T02:06:00.000-04:00I have this book of hers and several others.

I like her love for gardening and how she talks about the details...but it is too much for one sitting sometimes. You done a grand job of explaining Little Bulbs. <BR/><BR/>Your bulbs are many and beautiful. I would be enjoying the bulbs at my former home about right now. Sometimes it's no fun having a new garden.

One of my friends here made a comment on Facebook about having lakefront property. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Cool geese! When I was out yesterday, I heard and saw some over at our neighbor's pond. Wow...you sure had a lot of water. Did any get into your house?

I'll have to investigate.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I read "Two Gardeners." I've had that happen before - I start to read a book, can't get into it, put it down, then go back and try reading it again and I like it a lot. Maybe I'll have to try reading it again.<BR/><BR/>Those of you with Poet's Daffodils, don't forget to bend down and smell them! They smell heavenly!<BR/><BR/>All those daffodils are scattered throughout the gardens and they don't all bloom at the same time, so they don't make as big of an impact as you might think. But they're glorious all the same! :-)<BR/><BR/>Kerri, the crocus aren't blooming here yet. That photo is from a couple of years ago. But they might be the next to bloom!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-41919092613565879082009-03-11T22:53:00.000-04:002009-03-11T22:53:00.000-04:00Snow drops are lovely.

Aren't they such a welcome sight? I found 2 snowdrop blooms open today :) Daffs and tulips are poking through.<BR/>I have "The Little Bulbs" on my book list and look forward to reading it. I loved Two Gardeners and my hubby enjoyed it too. As Donna said, to each his own. It's good that we're all different!<BR/>I planted Poet's daffs last fall and can't wait to see their sweet faces! :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-35431546529872322812009-03-11T19:10:00.000-04:002009-03-11T19:10:00.000-04:00The Little Bulbs was the second of her books that ...The Little Bulbs was the second of her books that I read...The first was A Southern Garden....she would have been an interesting gardner to know.

Good stuff. Sorry to hear you didn't care for Two Gardeners. It still ranks as one of my favorites. To each her own, I guess! :) I've always kind of thought of Elizabeth and Katherine as being the predecessors to us garden bloggers, but at a MUCH slower pace. I love the interaction of their very different personalities: Katherine, the successful, somewhat brash New York editor, yet rather insecure and much needing the encouragement and affirmation of her more gentle, reserved, and steadfast southern friend, both valuing each other's input on their various projects. I cried at the end when...well I won't spoil it for you in case you ever decide to finish it! I'll bet it will be glorious when all your daff varieties come into bloom!Donna at Suburban Sanctumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144553618750590665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-90595838742150263362009-03-11T14:51:00.000-04:002009-03-11T14:51:00.000-04:00I imagine Elizabeth Lawrence would have been a gre...I imagine Elizabeth Lawrence would have been a great garden blogger. I haven't read "The Little Bulbs" in a very long time; I should re-read it. <BR/>I just love your double Galanthus. Are they sterile? I wondering if that's why they haven't spread. 'Repelete' is just too much; I bet it was bred as a show bench flower, not as a landscape plant.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-1833491680319033912009-03-11T14:19:00.000-04:002009-03-11T14:19:00.000-04:00As they say, good things come in small packages. ...As they say, good things come in small packages.
