wild flowers, gardens, seeds, plants, species, Society, countryside, British, suppliers, meadow. Native wild flowers can be included in many planting schemes as a way of promoting biodiversity and linking gardens to the wider countryside. Plants must not be removed from the wild but should be obtained as seeds, bulbs or growing plants from reputable suppliers. The Royal Horticultural Society recognizes the increasing public interest in the use of native wild flowers in gardens and the business that has developed to supply this market. Such gardens are among the crown jewels of Britain's gardening heritage. However, the invasive success of some garden introductions, for example Rhododendron ponticum and Heracleum mantegazzianum (giant hogweed) illustrates the damaging consequences to native fauna and flora of the release of exotic species into the wild. a207_spring_flowering_bulbs_jan02 http://www.ccenassau.org/hort/fact_sheets/a207_spring_flowering_bulbs_jan02.pdf bulbs, planter, soil, inches, square feet, fertilizer, planting, gardening, flowering, inches apart. In all phases of gardening, nothing is more rewarding than the appearance of spring-flowering bulbs, because they mark the end of winter and the beginning of a new season. Even before the last snow has melted, bulb flowers can be seen poking their heads into the new dawn of spring and adding life and color to the dormant garden. A bulb one inch in diameter should be planted with its bottom two and a half inches deep; a three inch diameter bulb should be planted seven inches deep. The soil must be well prepared if bulbs are to remain in vigorous condition for several years. Use a trowel or bulb planter for each hole.

Clouds of purple clematis floating through an old apple tree, 'Sweet Autumn' Clematis with its tiny, white, fragrant flowers arching over a mailbox, or the rosy mauve flowers of 'Hagley Hybrid' sharing it's space on a split rail fence with a favorite rose: Clematis adorn our gardens so beautifully because of their special ability to climb with curling tendrils. To achieve this protection, plant a spring blooming perennial, small shrub, or cool season grass in front of the clematis to shade its root zone. To help keep the root zone cool, a mulch of mushroom compost or other well-rotted organic matter should be applied to the surrounding area of soil, in a diameter of one to two feet.
