WWS’ SEASONAL COLOURS

Even at the time of writing (mid-april), fields and roadsides are still full of daffodils. It’s timely, therefore, that WW Scenics has introduced miniature versions. The 6mm tufts, with yellow flower heads, are self-adhesive and can easily be divided using a sharp knife. Price: £3.50 Availability: WW Scenics. Tel: 01792 864250. Web: www. wwscenics. co.uk
