Did you know that gardening journalists get together in secret session to elect the plants we are going to grow? Nor did I, until I was invited to a Bulb of the Year lunch organised by the International Flower Bulb Centre. I'll give you three guesseswhere the IFBC lives. Clue: a flat little country across the North Sea. The twelve writers, or someone representing them, each nominated a spring- and a summer-flowering bulb and recited its merits. Cross-examination followed. Why, Anna Pavord, do you put forward Ornitbogalum nutansl Rob Gassy of The Times advocated Triteleia ixioides 'Starlight'. Both have modest wild-flower charm, the polar opposite of Tulipa 'Black Hero', for example, championed by Kathryn Bradley-Hole of Country Life.
