One of the Favorites


Yesterdays sunset was just gorgeous. Fall and Winter are always good sunsets at Fairview. The flame is so intense.
China Lily Narcissus is right on top for the most favorite bulb. The smell is intoxicating, the color combination so cheerful, and the petals dance about like tutu's on a ballerina. There are not many of this kind of bulb at Fairview. Not able to buy them new, only found in old gardens established before the 60's. These were dug up from abandoned empty lots and fallen down houses that were going to be torn down. Most of the old fashioned bulbs here were gathered that way. Kind of like recycled landscaping.
