You have not seen the sun for quite a long time, because it has been snowing cats and dogs for the past couple of days or perhaps weeks, depending on your locality. And suddenly your eyes light up on some plants growing indoors, and blooming away in colorful abundance and profusion. These spring flowers are growing in the winter, indoors, right inside your house. For an avid gardener, not knowing anything about growing bulbs, both indoors and outdoors is about on par with a keen fisherman not bothering to keep in touch with the prime locations where he can catch tarpon, salmon and other amazing catches. But for a newbie knowing nothing about gardening, and going into it for the first time, what is all the fuss about bulbs? If you have herbs like garlic, onions and shallots an integral part of your daily cuisine, these bulbs are grown with cloves of garlic planted in the soil, and the lily family plant bulbs planted in the spring to give you a delicious herbal harvest within a couple of months. Also imagine a world without Narcissus, lilies, crocuses, daffodils, gladioli, tulips, snowdrops and hyacinths. All of these have grown from bulbs, instead of from seedlings, seeds or cuttings. So as your new project, and enjoyable future occupation, that of growing bulbs indoors, and making it a lovely fascinating pleasant place with lilies blooming inside, and garlic, spreading its own individual aroma in the kitchen, this book is going to give you some easy to follow DIY tips and techniques on how you can do that without growing bored with the complete long, tedious, boring procedure. It isn’t necessarily so!

Download or read book Potted History written by Catherine Horwood and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are plenty of books on how to look after houseplants but no one has shown us how, when and why these plants came to be found in our homes. In this fascinating book we learn how potted plants are as subject to fashion as pieces of furniture. For the Victorians it was the aspidistra in the front parlor; for us it is the orchid in the designer loft. We find that Wedgwood created a market for special bulb pots and that some of Conran's early designs were for houseplant containers. Then there is the story of mignonette - a modest plant but once prized in every home for its intoxicating scent. Now that scent is lost to us for ever. Catherine Horwood's novel combination of social history, plant history and the history of interior design is intriguing. Her illustrations come from a variety of unusual sources since potted plants may be found in many unexpected corners.
