Flower Gardening–Bulbs

Hi,

Lets talk a little about bulbs.

Plants with “bulbous structures,” or bulbs, are native to every region of the world.  Crocus are originally from the Mediterranean region, narcissus are native to southern Europe.  Tulips are native to Turkey, and gladiolus and amaryllis are from southern Africa.  Allium are native to Italy and the Himalayas.  Dahlias originated in Mexico.  Ipheion, or starflower, are native to Peru.  Plant exploration and international travel has put cultivated varieties of hundreds of species of bulbs within reach of home gardeners.  Bulbs have figured prominently in world history.  The story of tulip futures in Holland is one of the most well-known bulb stories.  It, and many other fascinating histories lurk behind some of the most beloved garden plants.

Remember, gardening provides  you with these benefits: Exercise, Inexpensive, No traveling, Increased self esteem and Relaxation. In summary,  gardening  is the cheapest, healthiest, keenest pleasure there is.
