Among all the garden crops, bulbous crops play an important role in
magnifying the view of the home garden as these have other good
qualities besides beautifying the place where these are grown. One
of the main advantages of growing bulbous crops in a home garden is
that due to perennial nature, a gardener does not have to worry
about next season planting. All the bulbous plants have storage
parts underground the soil which can be corms, true bulbs,
pseudo-bulbs, stolons, rhizomes, tubers etc. While corms are
similar to bulbs with the differentiation of hardness and no stems,
the bulbils or bulblets are small bulbs, a rhizome is a modified
stem that extends underground horizontally and arises from lateral
stem of main stem of the plant. Stolons can be produced either
underground or above the ground depending plant to plant.
Gladiolus, also known as Sword Lily has derived its name from a
Latin word "Gladioli" which means sword as the leaves of the plant
resemble to that of a sword. Attractive and long spikes with
bright, huge and colorful flowers in various sizes in addition to
long keeping quality are some of the characteristics which make it
as one of the most demanding and revenue fetching commercial crop.
It is an ideal cut flower crop which can be grown easily and is
valued for its use in floral arrangements.
Thomas Powell may be known to you as the distinguished, award
winning editor and publisher of the monthly newsletter, The Avant
Gardener, and the author of popular garden books. But, back in the
nineteen fifties and sixties, he and his wife Betty were just
starting out in horticulture when they were suddenly drawn headlong
into the high flying world of the orchid trade, in the days before
tissue culture and mechanized greenhouses made the world's most
beautiful flower available to all. The cast of orchid-obsessed
characters in this book range from super rich, even titled
customers to explorers, breeders, lecturers, judges, growers, and
professional orchidists of all sorts. If you have ever been part of
a special interest organization or a competitive flower show, you
will laugh with recognition at these boisterous tales of the old
days when newlywed New Yorkers Betty and Tom took on the world of
orchid collecting and showing with innocence and energy. You will
enjoy Betsy West's spirited illustrations, too. Tom, in this
tribute to Betty, lays out the perils and pleasures of lecturing to
snorers and poisoners, foiling pollen purloiners, corsaging buxom
matrons for the horse show, and blanketing caskets with lovely
orchids for gangster funerals. He takes you along for tours beset
by beauties, bores and boars, the challenge of keeping a behemoth
boiler going to save the orchids from bitter cold, an artful escape
from a wife swapper, and the ultimate heaven/hell experience
managing thousands of raging and rabid orchid exhibitors at the
"greatest flower show of all time." This is a story of the heights
of Mother Nature and the wild ways of human nature. Aphid in My Eye
is a treat for anyone who has ever admired, seen, or attempted to
grow an orchid.
Lilies are considered as those cut flowers which enliven the
environment by their charismatic appearances with most beautiful
colors. It is one of the best flowers planted by most of the

derived from a Latin word "Tuberosa" which means swollen with the
virtue of having tuberous roots that act as a storage organ for the
plant during dormancy. It is generally a night blooming and very
scented to the extent that almost all gardeners love to plant
tuberose in their gardens. The flower is grown for its appearance,
beauty, good keeping quality and sweet fragrance.Amaryllis is also
a commonly grown bulbous flower by the gardeners. The bulb produces
large, trumpet shaped flowers which have varied ranges of color
from pink, scarlet, apricot to white which look very beautiful with
their exotic appearances. Amaryllis is also considered as one of
the earliest blooming flower. It is one of the best flowers advised
for the gardeners to beautify their gardens during mid-winters
having good keeping quality as a vase flower. One can magnify the
view of their garden by planting such bulbous crops. The flower can
be planted easily in beds, pots, and rockery and in landscaping.
Belladona Lily is another common name for Amaryllis.

So you want to start keeping bees? Where does a newbee or hobbyist
place their bee hives? The back yard is the most obvious choice,
but there are many factors, including municpal ordinances and
relations with the neighbors. Urban beekeeping is on the rise and
roof top apiaries are becoming popular. Still, there are several
factors that limit and define the most successful apiary site
selection. Grant Gillard, a beekeeper since 1981, keeps 200 hives
in southeast Missouri on over 30 locations, sometimes called "out
yards." In this manuscript, Grant details what makes for the ideal
location for the bees, plus cites a number of other criteria
helpful to the beekeeper. Just like in real estate, the admonition
of "location, location, location," rings true for the honey bee and
honey production.
