Greet spring with a hazel (Posted 2014-03-27 01:29:02)
The twisted branches, which are silver-gray and mahogany-brown, are the perfect foil for the catkins, which may number well into the hundreds on a mature plant. For all its cons, I remain a fan of this plant and love to see it now in full sail, especially with rich purple crocuses at its feet.

Jim Garland, the 'Elton John of fountains' has a new hit
The new Longwood fountain will incorporate effects that would make Louis XIV, the patron of Versailles, hold tight to his powdered wig: a total of 1,719 coordinated jets and streams, some emanating from robotic nozzles that swivel to make the jets dance; water pumps that dial the pressure up or down; LED lights that will bring colours never before seen in fountains; bursts of water propelled by compressed air; fire incorporated into the columns of water; an advanced sound system; and software programming that will blend the spectacle together with split-second synchronisation. The backbone of the garden is an entirely new network of underground concrete tunnels - 1,400 linear feet that will house and provide maintenance access to the miles of plumbing, electrical and propane gas lines, and the pumps and valves that animate the water displays.
