As other posts have made quite clear I love bright
colours, especially in spring and summer when the light just seems to make them
light up. This is because there is less blue light in the "white" sunlight
at these times of the year.
Ranunculus asiaticus (on the left), the Persian
Buttercup, comes in a fantastic array of brightly coloured blooms that are in
flower already as a result of the lack of winter cold. The plants I turn to for
an injection of vivid colours are tulips. They come in a wide range of hybrids,
each characterised by their flower shape, flowering time and height The
relatively warm winter followed by a cold spring has meant that the early
flowering types (shown on the right) were slow to take off. The sturdy tulips
in the Triumph section (middle) are reliable garden plants.
