A Big Thanks to our community from Friends of North County Recreation District. Friends fundraising projects has put $13,315 into programs at NCRD in 2022. Scholarships have been awarded to Youth, Swim, and Fitness Center programs.
And Wow! What a wonderful reception Friends of North County Recreation has gotten for the spring flowering bulbs. We’re getting down to the bare bones or should I say bare bags of our supply. Friends started out in October with about 310 bags of bulbs for sale. Of the forty-nine bags (units) of bulbs we started out with at the beginning of this week we are down to sixteen bags. And we’ve got our community to thank for all these sales! Remember, there’s still time to plant.
Friends’ selection of what are called Uncommon Daffodils include Pipe Major. Easy on the eye, the Pipe Major has yellow petals with an orange center -blooming a little later than most daffodils. (Pipe Major as 10 units left).
Tulips left for sale include Rosy Diamond, a purple color with lots of red, goes well with pastel pink and soft yellow spring bloomers. Rosy Diamond is a double tulip, very fluffy. Price: 10/$15 (only one unit left). Our other tulip is a Scarlet Baby, growing only six inches tall. It will jolt you with its red color. Price: $10/$10 (only one unit left).
Thanks to so many of you who purchased Paper Whites in the past couple of days, we have only 4 units of those. Price is 5/$10.
We have just a few Amaryllis left for sale. One-Double Dream Amaryllis which has reddish pink blooms with white highlights making an unusual and beautiful display. We start your Amaryllis for you using the proper medium and get them growing before we hand them off. They come with growing instructions. Warm up your world with the Horizon Amaryllis. You will think you have awakened in a tropical destination. We have three Horizon Amaryllis. These are very large amaryllis bulbs which sell for $40 planted.
All the above make great gifts. You will be so happy in the spring if you get our tulips and daffodils planted now. I am already envisioning my daffodils blooming in a pot by my front door. Thank you to all who have participated in our bulb sale this fall and we hope to see a few more of you as customers in the next few days.
