Yellow daffodils
Pink jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
The sweet fragrance of jasmines is one way that our gardens let us
know that spring has arrived and all is well with our world. If you
haven’t planted a jasmine yet, do so today. Try the pretty pink
jasmine, which is the first to flower, and also plant a star jasmine to
prolong the pleasure into early summer.Even though spring-flowering bulbs are planted in autumn,
gardeners who were too busy or forgetful can still enjoy
their beautiful blooms. Visit garden shops to buy potted
bulbs in flower, and bring them home!
Bedazzling bulbs
The scent of spring
is in the air!
