Following in yesterday’s footsteps of clever cottages for the garden, check out this one from Lorene Edwards Forkner that I saw in her fun and kitchy Seattle garden. Lorene has a great book out called Handmade Garden Projects if you love taking treasured, well-loved items and putting them to new use.
Repurposing done right.

So why is the beautiful Narcissus flower associated with the awful narcissistic personality? Well mythology tells us that Narcissus was a beautiful man who spurned love from all who sought him out because of his own vanity.

He died at that spot and a white flower, with a blood-red rimmed cup, grew every spring where he died.
Just a few reasons why you should plant bulbs…
