PRETTY FLAMINGO

Some people think that this magnificent autumn bulb is altogether too pink. They find the sheer bubble gumminess of it too much and they shudder at the essence of Barbie. For them a fairy tutu is a step too far and they cannot cope with a plant impersonating a flamingo in their borders. Well, I disagree -we are slipping into deep winter and, in my book, the pinker the better.
