This is odd, because I read that yellow houses sell the quickest in North America. People do make comments about the many yellow daisies of midsummer, but I have never heard a complaint about too many daffodils. When I look through plant books, the most appealing pictures are ones with lots of green and small bits of bright colours - rather like an alpine meadow. That is the general effect of most bulb plantings - except for solid blocks of tulips and hyacinths in public parks. Diane Whitehead
