In addition to his foolproof gardening advice, Quin Ellis suggests imaginative ways to plant and display each bulb: an indoor English garden of Autumn Crocus growing in a trug basket, a terra-cotta sconce with a buoyant cascade of Lily Of The Valley, or for the tall-stemmed Fairy Bells, a pot nesded inside a decorative umbrella stand.
