Clarice Cliff Blue Crocus
Filed Under Crocus | Leave a Comment
Hubby bought me a rare but stunning Clarice Cliff blue crocus plate today!
This is marvelous antique pottery with a few crocus plants hand-painted by Clarice Cliff in 1935. An ideal way to have crocus flowers through the whole year.
No need to buy antiques to enjoy crocus flowers, they should be in your garden right now. Otherwise go to your nearest florist and get yourself some crocus flowers and add some hyacinth flowers to will fill your house with spring flower perfumes.
Better find somebody to frame my Clarice Cliff blue crocus plate before I break it…

Blue Hyacinth
Blue Hyacinth flower for sale
Normally you can also see the bulb of the hyacinth in the pot it is sold, which I find more attractive, yet beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hyacinth perfume
Whether it is a garden hyacinth or a hyacinth bought in a pot for indoors, I just love the hyacinth fragrance! This perfume makes the hyacinth one of my favorite spring bulb flowers.
Because of the hyacinth’s pervasive perfume, the bulbs used to be very expensive. The bulbs are now grown in Holland and Great Britain and you can buy the hyacinth flower worldwide (they even sell hyacinths in Malaysia around Chinese New Year of which
the 15th night just passed), I really suggest you get this flower plant and enjoy the hyacinth perfume as well (again we should have ‘smellyvision‘ on the Internet…)
Garden hyacinth
Although hyacinths are available from November till April, the hyacinths in the gardens in Belgium and the Netherlands are only now emerging. (see our Spring flower bulb chronology)
200 years ago, like tulips, hyacinths were found only in gardens of very rich flower collectors, luckily that’s history

Do snowdrops need lots of sun
When you have them on your desktop, they don’t need any sun
In your garden, snowdrop flowers don’t need much sun either. Galanthus can grow under the bare branches of trees in areas that will be shady later in the year.
They do need a bit of light, so don’t plant them under evergreens, unless you have no other choice. My snowdrops grow also very close to my evergreens.
Snowdrop flowers do most of their growing before the late spring leaf canopy is big enough to create too much shade.
But like we said just now: this snowdrop desktop wallpaper can best be enjoyed without any sun on your screen!
