Yes folks, even though summer has at last arrived, fall is not far away, and it’s time to think of your spring garden bulbs. The Garden Club is once again offering great deals on a number of different daffodil bulbs. Orders should be placed with Sharon Haggerty at: [email protected], before September 12th
Club members should use the on-line order form available through Cuttings. After many years Sheila Webster is retiring as the ’Daffodil Queen.’ During her long stewardship in this role she has sold, packed and distributed over a million bulbs to Bowen Islanders. We owe her a great debt of gratitude for her hard work.
This year’s offerings include tete a tetes at $21.00 per 100; King Alfreds at $32.00 per 100; Tahitis at $45 per 100; Minnows at $21.00 per 100; and Quails at $26 per 100. Snowdrops are available at $42 per100
Newcomers to the planting of daffs. should know that the small tete a tetes flower before the other listed bulbs and are aggressive colonizers. For a continuous show, with a variety of flowering habit, plant a mixture of all of them. With luck your daffodil beds will provide glorious colour from late February to April.
