Jan Pennings at Smith & Hawken Chicago

I pulled away from our bulb sale yesterday to travel down to Lincoln Park, where Jan Pennings and his wife held forth at the Smith & Hawken store there. The crowd was small but very appreciative. Jan’s presentation was very interesting, and his enthusiasm spilled into the room.
Attached are pics of Jan and yrs trly, a look at the preparation of a hyacinth bulb with a special knife, and the results after the bulb has been down a while.
Note the elegantly packaged bulbs in the first pic, tulips, hyacinths, allium, and daffodils.
