Bulb gardens

One of the grandest borders I ever saw was flanked on each side by gravel walks, had turf strips marking out geometrical patterns along its whole length and for edging, with Lilies and Dahlias used alternately as furnishing for the principal centre spaces.
Now and then I have come across real little Bulb gardens, generally portions of big estates, or gardens within gardens. The idea is one that should be carried out much oftener, and the Lilies share with Eremuri and Kniphofias (Spire Lilies and Red-hot Pokers) the glory of giving chief height.
