A monochromatic vignette enlivens any room in the house
This white knitted hat makes a creative cachepot for a pot of blooming Crocus vernus ‘Jeanne d’Arc’ set jauntily amidst white feathers. The clever hat-and-bulb combo could easily be blue or pink, yellow, orange, even purple, depending on the colour that strikes your fancy. In white, the effect is crystalline.
Use pots of home-forced bulbs or, even easier, pick up potted pre-grown spring bulbs at your local nursery or supermarket when choices are abundant December through March. Every week or two, switch in a new pot to freshen your display. Place a plastic saucer under the pot to catch any water runoff. Select pots with young, green plants (not full bloom) for longest enjoyment. Your mantra: “Buy them green, watch them grow!”
