A container filled with Tulipa ‘Brown Sugar’ (tulip). The flowers are sturdy and sweetly scented. It really feels like spring when the tulips bloom.

Pyxis (Container for Personal Objects)
Greek; Athens, 730-720 BCE
The handle of this vase takes the form of horses standing side by side, suggesting a team for a four-horse chariot. Ownership of horses was an important indicator of financial status, since only the wealthy could afford to possess and train them.

The rear garden. Unlike the public display of the front garden, the rear garden should be thought of as a private, outside room used as an extension of the home in summer. Consider the variety of uses to which you and your family will put the garden and try to include as many as possible in your rear garden plan.
The Garden Book, 1984

This striking display of succulents at The Beth Chatto Garden, Essex, features a large Aeonium ‘Schwarzkopf’ (black rose). The striking almost black, rosettes form tight spirals at the top of tall stems. These tender plants need bright sunlight and well-drained growing media.
