Your Garden: Bulb catalogs cause dreams to take root

I'd run them along tree lines and into the trees and out into the grass and along daylily beds and rose borders and anywhere else I could get away with a very large bed of them. The bulb catalogs start piling in, and then the dreams begin. Every year I go through the catalogs and wonder what it would be like to have great drifts of the finest, newest daffodils spread in sweeping expanses through my 6. And I'd plant more than a thousand in each irregular-shaped bed. What I envision is daffodils by the thousands. I don't know why it's always daffodils I envision. I'd dream of tulips if they'd live for me more than a year or two. And it's a very large-cupped pale yellow that fades to pure white. Each sweep of 1,000 or so would be one variety.

Plumen: The World's First Designer Low Energy Light Bulb ...

Many people still prefer incandescents because when the bulbs themselves are exposed their shapes are simpler and less jarring to the eye, and they are also thought to give off a warmer quality of light. And because CFLs last ten times longer than a traditional bulb, they put less waste into landfills, too. Plumen aims to address these issues with a glass tube design that is a piece of art in and of itself, and by sharing creative accessorizing and positioning techniques to make the bulbs work in any space. This newest idea addresses the pros and cons of the energy efficient bulb options currently out there on the market....
