Bulbs: Tips for effective gifting
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever”
This lovely quote by Keats illustrates perfectly why bulbs make a thoughtful gift. With a little kit containing everything the plant needs to flourish, your loved one will have a thing of beauty that just keeps giving. Gifting flowers is always effective, whether you are offering harvested flowers arranged into a professional bouquet, or as a potted plant and nothing says “I care” quite like a handmade gift. Combining the two will result in a gift that is not only made with love, time, attention and care but looks beautiful enough to be store bought. Grow the bulbs yourself, and give them as gifts when they reach their flowering stage. The time and energy you invested will give the gift a deeper meaning, as opposed to simply purchasing a pot plant.Flowering: Timing your gifts well
Amaryllis is also known as The Christmas Flower, and it makes such a wonderful gift not only because of the beauty of the bell-shaped flowers but also because they flower in a relatively predictable time period. It typically takes approximately 5 weeks for them to flower after being planted, allowing you to time your gift perfectly. It may be tempting to give the gift when the flower is in full bloom, but resist, and aim to give your gift when the bud is looking ready to open, so that the recipient may enjoy the blooms in their own home.
