As the summer season comes to a close we watch our colorful garden slowly drip away to a dull green. Already thinking about our spring gardens, we miss our favorite tulip patch or remember witnessing our iris’s head hang, bringing feelings of nostalgia for spring. But with one goodbye comes another hello — time for fall bulb planting!
By planting bulbs in the cooler temperatures of the fall, flowers have time to fully develop before the ground thaws in the spring. Full progress causes a plants blooming period to extend, which allows us enjoy their beauty longer.
This Saturday, Sept. 25, Denver Botanic Gardens is holding the annual Plant and Bulb Sale in celebration of the new planting season. Bulbs include a wide selection of plants and flowers, anything from fiery Orange Emperors to elegant English Blue Bells. Please join us and add some unique spring-blooming loveliness to your garden.

In my family tree, I have relatives who would look at this post, look at me and say “Pride and envy are each one of the seven deadly sins.” But today, I’m thinking that local pride is better for me than the aloe envy I was feeling.
