As Fall approaches we're giving serious thought to what kind of bulbs we want to plant for next spring. We've recently started work on renovating the landscape in our backyard. Over the past few years we've noticed a trend away from spawling lawns in garden design. We decided to go that direction as well and removed our St. Agustine lawn and haggard overgrown shrubs and replaced them with stone paths and large flower beds that we intend to fill with a profusion of flowering bulbs. We've opted for a simple color scheme of all white and shades of green. I think we've set our sights on Paperwhites for Holiday and late Winter bloom.
We love the fragrance and the cheery resistance to winter cold.
We'd hoped to follow up with our early spring favorites Snowdrops, but our supplier has sold out already. The delicate white flowers with their elegant green spots add a wispy harmony to any spring planting. Next year we'll be sure to order early.
Finally, in time to coincide with the blooming of our Oklahoma White Bud trees in April/May we're going to underplant them with 500 white tulips and white pansies.
It's not even October and already I'm anticipating Spring!
